"Sittin' Pretty" 1996		Patrick Dougherty Sculptor "During the last ten years I have created over one hundred temporary, site-specific installations, which translates into a decade of constant travel. Constantly working has left little time for research and reflection, little time to experiment and explore new ideas. I plan to explore photography as a method of seeing the old efforts in new ways and as a way to improve my capacity to see and react. I also want to investigate the use of saplings as a building material in other cultures past and present, and study the use of these materials by natural shelter builders in the animal world. I imagine using these discoveries to explore new directions in my own work." Patrick Dougherty has a B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and an M.A. from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. He lives in Chapel Hill, NC.
