2 A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE Internationally acclaimed environmental sculptor Patrick Dougherty uses natural materials harvested locally to create unique, interactive stickwork sculptures. He came to the Wilson campus from Oct. 7-23, 2015, to create the sculpture, A Walk on the Wild Side, on the green in front of the John Stewart Memorial Library. More than 100 volunteers from Wilson and the surrounding community contributed approximately 1,500 hours to the creation of the sculpture.
