Environmental sculptor Patrick Dougherty's book & film in the Library

By



Award-winning environmental sculptor Patrick Dougherty has been working with UWSP  students and community members to create a large-scale piece on the campus Sundial while serving as an artist-in-residence.

 
With its design a secret until Dougherty arrives, the piece will be created with maple, willow and dogwood saplings that have been harvested from the local area in an environmentally-sensitive way.
 
The Library currently has two of his works on Reserve (1st flr)
 
"Stickwork" by Patrick Dougherty. NB237.D68 A4 2010 (book)
 "Twisted logic: Grounds for Sculpture," by Patrick Dougherty; Rich Butterfoss, producer.
N6494.I56 T857 2000 (film)
 
An opening reception for the sculpture will take place on Thursday, April 18, at 6 p.m. at the Specht Memorial Forum/Sundial, where the piece will be installed. Both events are free and open to the public.

Sober Muslim voices regularly describe their current state as the worst in the 1,400-year history of Islam. Yet, precisely at this time of unprecedented material vulnerability, Islam has emerged as a civilizational force strong enough to challenge the imposition of Western, particularly American, homogenizing power on Muslim peoples.
