Makawao Maui HI 96768 - stick art installation at the Hui No'eau Dec 2011

I got to see the newly created sculpture garden myself for the first time today when I stopped in at "the Hui". I heard about this wonderful stick art installation and wanted to see it and photograph it.

These pictures are from today at the Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center on Baldwin Ave. just below the town of Makawao. The STICKWORK was created by Patrick Dougherty from invasive tree saplings, along with the help of many volunteers.
