Abstract:

Bending Sticks: The Sculpture of Patrick Dougherty, is a new documentary film by Penelope Maunsell and Kenny Dalsheimer on North Carolina artist Patrick Dougherty. Dougherty is an internationally known contemporary artist, and the film takes a look into Dougherty's creative process from before the idea stage through the final execution of the work. The film also examines the artist’s life and career which he has spent creating sculptures by interweaving thousands of locally culled tree saplings into giant windblown forms and figures.
