A lumberjack who is also an artist might cut down a tree during a workday.If the stump,the bottom of the tree,is a good size,the artist might be motivated to sculpt the stump into the shape of a forest animal.The chainsaw artist might also carve other large blocks of wood.Sometimes a homeowner might cut down a tree in the yard and then hire a chainsaw artist to create an outdoor sculpture from the stump.So,this art owes its origins to everyday tasks and nature.
The origins of chainsaw art may be humble(不起眼的),but the practice has expanded well beyond turning a stump into a sculpture.In some ways chainsaw artists are like traditional woodcarvers.One artist said that using chainsaws was simply more practical.This person began his work as a traditional woodcarver—that is,he used hand tools to carve the wood into the shapes he wanted.To save time,he began using a chainsaw to remove some parts of the wooden block.This artist realized that the chainsaw not only cut down large pieces of wood quickly,but it also produced a distinctive and beautiful pattern on the wood.These patterns would not be seen in other pieces of art.Eventually,the artist began using the chainsaw for nearly all of his carvings.
However unusual it may seem,chainsaw art is here to stay.The final test of success for any type of art is the enthusiasm and acceptance of the public.The conclusion is:people love watching chainsaw artists work,and people love the sculptures they create.
