Reames coined the word "arborsculpture" to describe the art of shaping living tree trunks and woody plants into sculptural forms, furniture and shelters.[2][3][4]:ā24ā His writing and artistic practice are grounded in ecological principles of living in harmony with nature and with creating living structures from trees.[5] He has written two books on arborsculpture and tree shaping.
Reames was appointed, in 2005, as the "international arborsculpture coordinator" for the World Expo's Growing Village in Aichi, Japan;[6] his work was also exhibited there.[5]
