Check Daniel Popper out with your search engine of choice, because pretty much all of his sculptures are amazing.

I've never seen it in person, but I think it's probably not real wood.

I don't remember if I saw this one in person or not, but the Morton rotates through large, nature-inspired sculptures like this every few years. And you're right, a lot of them will include natural materials but they are generally metal or concrete shells over a metal frame.

Here's their current installation: https://mortonarb.org/explore/activities/exhibitions/of-the-earth/
