if these twigs could talk

It may be my imagination, but I think this installation is getting a wee bit saggy. Erected in October 2006 by Patrick Dougherty and a crew of mystical magical elves, it was supposed to be ‘on view’ until October 2007. I don’t know about anyone else, but I can still see it.
To go there: head into the rising sun, up College Street to Prospect where you will pass through the Van Wickle Gates (Rowling-esque name if ever there was one) and turn right. There you will meet a wizard named Tim and you will have to answer his questions three.
One… Do you speak Mandarin?
Two… Have you erected at least one clinic in Nicaragua?
Three… Spell ‘Leelee Sobieski’.
Answer correctly and you’re in.
