Bunnylicious. \\\. Patrick Dougherty's Incredible Nest Houses. Photo: Childhood DreamsImage: Adam Rodriguez If hobbits didn’t live under hills, they might like this homey structure that seems to fit right into its surroundings. It calls forth visions of a simpler world in keeping with nature and is one of sculptor Patrick Dougherty’s 150 amazing twig art installations that have sprung up all around the world to the wonderment of passersby since 1982. Says curator Linda Johnson: “Dougherty’s works allude to nests, cocoons, hives, and lairs built by animals, as well as the manmade forms of huts, haystacks, and baskets, created by interweaving branches and twigs together. Many of his works look ‘found’ rather than made, as if they were created by the natural force of a tornado sweeping across the landscape. Be prepared to transport yourself to another world.
