These trees manipulated into sculptures are so interesting! They can be found at the Tree Circus of Axel Erlandson. Erlandson passed away in 1964, but people are still enjoying his trees at their home in Gilroy, California. More about arbor sculpture here, and more about Axel Erlandson here.
Via.
those are absolutely stunning!
the last one looks like a pretzel =)
Hi this is Becky form Pooktre
Most of these trees are the work of Axel N Erlandson and his name for his trees is Tree Circus, and not Arborsculputre.
To see more of his trees go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Erlandson or http://www.treeshapers.net/axel-n-erlandson.html
The last tree belongs to Aharon Naveh and his name for his trees is Tree sculpture. To see some more of his work go to http://www.treeshapers.net/aharon-naveh.html or http://www.geocities.com/aharonaveh22/index.htm
None of these trees have been Arborsculptured.
Arborsculpture relates to Richard Reames’s method of shaping trees.
At Wikipedia there was a consensus that a neutral name was needed for the artform, and Tree shaping was decided upon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping
