Josh Landry Chainsaw Sculpting

Stories from the Wood.

I believe the reason that people across the country seek out my work goes beyond my experience as a chainsaw sculptor. I am deeply interested in people and preserving their stories and I think they are at ease sharing details of their lives with me. I am then able to translate those details into enduring legacies. For me, being able to take a 20ft solid oak stump and make it dance and breathe with the chapters of their story is an honor.

“I see myself as a preservationist, preserving people’s stories in nature.”
