I was driving down Embarcadero in Palo Alto, and saw this sculpture on the side of the road. I recalled seeing it on the local news. It's a Patrick Dougherty "Site Specific Installation", made entirely out of willow sapplings and creosote, the latter of which I assume was used to stick it all together. There are a number of doorways and windows; one can duck in and out of the creation. Fantastic place for a game of tag. The twigs have a very organic movement; flowing like long dog fur.
