Driftwood Sculptures

For the last couple of summers somebody has been making sculptures out of driftwood and found objects along the Hudson River.  The sculptures are located next to the bike path between 92nd and 130th streets.  They don't last too long.  I took the top photo on the 4th and it was gone this morning. 

More photos are available here.

i'm not sure, but i believe they might be created by a homeless man who's in a wheelchair. if you see him perhaps inquire...yes i'm serious... i run this path all the time.

A lot of those pieces are mine that you see, there are some other artists doing stuff as well and people taking some photographs. Here's a link to a flickr photo sharing site that has stuff from the last 3 years:

Oh and the top one isn't mine, the 2nd I think is, maybe (hard to tell from angle) the 3rd: 'Logs and Boulders' definitely mine - was up at the beginning of Cherry Walk at 125th St., long gone now, but I do stuff on that spot alot, love those pedastal boulders. And the bottom sign is not by me either

Tom, thanks for leaving a comment. I enjoy your driftwood sculptures very much. I hadn't realized there was more than one person making them.
