A great deal of power for this tree sculptor who treated himself to a chainsaw with his first savings.
Formerly a landscape craftsman and a gifted arborist who loves trees, Marc Nucera refuses the idea that trees are worthless once they are dead. Using only his chainsaw, he transforms the tree, gives its material a new thrill, erases its austerity, and allows it to continue its cycle by turning it into a new work of art.
For 30 years, Marc Nucera has been training to acquire "formulas of movement." Working with a chainsaw is tiring, and the gestures are demanding. But if Marc Nucera says he is exhausted at the end of his work, it is because he feels drained by his creation, by the grasp of the forces transmitted by the material that have seized him and inspired him.
