Description

Until recently, motorists travelling along Embarcadero Road near Midtown in Palo Alto may have seen an outcropping of massive wicker huts on the Palo Alto Art Center's lawn. Reminiscent of the gargantuan nests from Spike Jonze's hallucinatory adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, the interactive sculpture garden drew curious adults and playful children to the Art Center for years. The huts (appropriately titled "Double Take") were recently torn down, but the artist who created them-- Patrick Dougherty-- has been commissioned to build another set in the same spot. Come watch him work through Nov. 18.
