Description
This unique sculpture, titled "A Waltz in the Woods", was constructed at Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania by stickwork artist Patrick Dougherty. In the last thirty years, Dougherty has created some 260 sculptures in more than 15 countries. A Waltz in the Woods includes seven "towers", each roughly 30 feet high, through which visitors may roam. A Waltz in the Woods was created from willow saplings, which were brought in from Fredonia, New York, from a willow nursery. Patrick Dougherty's original sculptures are temporary. They last one to two years depending on the severity of the weather.
