One of the installations was created by artist Patrick
Dougherty (and crew). He took thousands of Willow Osier shoots and wove them
over the course of a month into onion shaped 'nests' or huts. Open and
available to be explored from every angle, you feel like you have discovered
some indigenous abandoned village. Titled "Shindig" there is then
this additional idea that rather than simply being habitations, they are
themselves alive and dancing! They are beautiful and intriguing from the
intricate construction to the whimsical design. What joy! The first three
pictures were taken by me, the fourth is from the catalogue showing the artist
during their construction.
