Patrick Dougherty
Primitive Ways in an Accelerated World
Lecture will begin at 6p in the U. Tobe Recital Hall, with a light reception to follow
in the Arts Complex Lobby
Over the past thirty years internationally acclaimed environmental sculptor Patrick
Dougherty has produced a body of work that includes more than 310 large-scale “Stickwork”
sculptures, assembled onsite from Scotland to Japan to Australia, and all over the
United States. In November 2021 he will be creating a site-specific sculptural installation
at the Naples Botanical Garden, and this lecture offers the opportunity to hear the
artist discuss his journey from a childhood affinity for sticks to decades spent creating
larger-than-life woven structures that enchant and beguile visitors.
Born in Oklahoma in 1945, Patrick Dougherty grew up in North Carolina, where he roamed
the woods as a child. He began grade school dressed in coat and tie and aspired to
follow his dad into the medical field. However, at thirty years of age, he heard the
call of the wild and enrolled in the art department at the University of North Carolina.
In the early 1980’s, he combined his carpentry skill with a love of nature and began
to build sculptures using tree saplings as construction material. His work quickly
evolved from single pieces on conventional pedestals to monumental-scale environmental
works.

In these challenging times, helping our neighbors in need with food insecurity has
never been more important. Now in its 15th year, the FGCU Empty Bowls Fundraiser is committed to the ongoing adaptation of our
fundraising formula to make sure we all come together to support the food pantry at
our partner organization, Interfaith Charities of South Lee. In one form or another,
there will be bowls and soup, potters and students, and the friends, colleagues and
community participants that make it happen. For more info and timing, stay tuned on

This event is free and open to the public
