Temple of Twigs


"For two years, an eerie, twisted fairytale dwelling arose from a grassy meadow at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Toad Hall was 27 feet tall, with a domed roof, windows, and doors. It was built entirely of twigs.

“Of course I’m a lightning rod for it,” says artist Patrick Dougherty, “but people tell me about their favorite sticks and trees all the time.”

Who better to tell? He’s crafted more than 150 stick sculptures in two decades, and his new works continue to decorate open spaces, indoor museums, and cityscapes in the United States, Europe, and Asia."
