Patrick has gained world wide recognition and created over 200 Stick sculptures.
These simple (yet, not so simple), organic works of art in nature calm you, force you to take a moment to enjoy the beauty of the sculpture for what it is; amazing and breathtaking, for soon it will be gone.
Amazing! I don't know if these are beautiful or scary!
