Stick Sculpture - The Work of Laura Spector
Here is an artist that produces some incredible and inspiring sculpture.
As noted on her website, stick sculptor Laura Spector elaborates on her work:
"I work with a vine called Oriental Bittersweet. Oriental Bittersweet was imported to this country from Asia in the mid-19th Century for use as a decorative vine in the garden. With no natural predators to keep its growth in check, the vines took over gardens and woodlands, killing trees and shrubs by strangulation. Now considered an invasive weed, I am granted permits from various land trusts, The Audubon, towns, parks and hydraulic companies to forage their properties to help rid them of this beautiful, but dangerous vine. In short, my work helps save our beautiful specimen trees while recycling the vines into a functional object of beauty. As such, my work has the distinction of being environmentally correct. "
What a great example of taking something negative (an invasive plant) and turning it into something spectacular.
