Paul Schick

"Paul Schick’s twig constructions began in 1987, after five mind-expanding years at Otis College of Art and Design. Inspired by such artists as Charles Arnoldi, Deborah Butterfield and Andy Goldsworthy, Schick has evolved and advanced his style through natural media. His creations have been featured in some of the finest hotels, spas and designer homes across North America. "

 

I really like Schick's use of natural objects to create such simple but beautiful artwork. I particularly love the different colours in the top picture - I think it adds even more interest to the piece.

 

I would really like to try this myself at some point but I'm not sure how I would join the sticks together. It might work weaving the branches or it may require something stronger such as glue.

 

If you have any ideas, please comment below.
