Sculptor Patrick Dougherty created Monk’s Cradle (also known as Lean on Me) for Saint John’s University and Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, in 2012. The environmental stickwork sculpture was inspired by a chapel on campus. It was created entirely from interwoven saplings and stood for over three years.
