"River Vessels" (2010) by Patrick Dougherty, photographed at the Waco Cultural Arts Festival in Waco, Texas.
"I'm moving through various communities and meeting new
groups of people, and the thrill of that - it's kind of a cultural exchange. You're
enjoying the energy of different people."
"It kind of contrasts with the image of the loner
artist," said CBS News' Anna Werner.
"Yeah, I'm never alone," said Dougherty. "I
have no studio doors to close. So the public can walk up at any time and make a
comment. And sometimes, when you're
dumping the sticks out on the ground the first day, they're calling the police
- and those are the same people that are inviting you to dinner when the piece
is finished. So there's a complete transition of thinking from day one to day
21, which I like."
