Seward Johnson</B>. A native of North Carolina, Dougherty combines carpentry skills with his love for nature, using sticks and tree saplings to twist, weave and wrap his medium into immense, organic sculptures. What makes this exhibition and program so unique is not only do we see the artist build his sculpture firsthand, but also he involves scores of volunteers from the community to assist him with the creation, integrating their suggestions, while constantly sharing his vision of the final work. The DVD's 34-min.
