Stunning Twig Sculptures of Patrick Dougherty

The talented North Carolina-based artist Patrick Dougherty has earned an international reputation for weaving tree saplings into substantial, swirling forms that look like bird nests as high as 40 feet. His elegant sculptures are transitory, owning to the nature of the materials used, and break down after a year or two in the wild. Patrick has post-graduate in Hospital and Health Administration, and he started studying art history and sculpture at the University of North Carolina, where he started learning about basic techniques of building, and applying his carpentry abilities with his deep fondness of nature ongoing to experiment with tree saplings as construction material. Patrick Dougherty first artwork was his house. When he was collecting fallen branches, rocks and old timber, Dougherty built a villa where he still lives with his wife and son. By the way, his house is his only eternal work. So more than thirty years, he has built more than 230 of such works that have been seen worldwide from Scotland to Japan to Brussels, and all over the United States.

Meanwhile in a World Far, Far Away

This is really an incredibly short film created during the "Porgrave" shooting, the latest film by Sandro Bocci that will be released at the end of 2015. Meanwhile, you can view the world of marine animals like corals and starfish at high magnification and during long time span through the time-lapse. The music almost alien and disturbing has been joined to the images that stimulate mental associations to create a contrast, stimulate synesthesia and feelings do not necessarily harmonics and assonant. In fact this is an infinitesimal part of the perfect world in which we live and of which we should take better care. Well, a wonderful trip via a different perspective that’d encourage reflections on the consequences of actions on each scale of space & time. Let’s enjoy the vision.

Once you see the video, I’m sure many of them would try something like this. You’d love watching your garden change overnight but this is wondrous. God's nature is undeniably perfect. Wow, you’d be really admired the heart touched work of Daniel, what a brilliant video! How mysterious and fantastic life is! Truly awesome!

Morning Light

The Cool morning air is disturbed by the sound of wings as they flap across the water of the shallow lake.  The once deep lake is nothing but a memory with just enough water to sustain what life is left feeding on it with eternal gratefulness for its existence. Kaibab Lake once a pristine 30 acre +lake has been reduced to 15 acres or less with a depth in some spots you could walk in from the drought that is plaguing Northern Arizona.

Awaken 4K by Fort Myers and Sanibel

I've just seen this for the first time, and love the video cuts as well! I don't know how it slipped through the cracks the first time around, but I love it. Incredible work and I got it all in balance handsomely. Imagery, video, audio, edits, soundtrack, narrative, the whole thing. This is really outstanding dedication and passion. I hunted for 6 months for that shot, so much sleeping in the car, but in the end, it paid off more than I could have imagined. As much as I like the time-lapse shots I love the video cuts even more. You captured some epic moments my friend. Keep up the killer work!
