Creating prints from cross sections of trees, Gill revealed the sublime power locked inside their arboreal rings, patterns not only of great beauty but also a year-by-year record of the life and times of the fallen or damaged logs. The artist rescued the wood from the property surrounding his studio and neighboring land, extracted and prepared blocks of various species--including ash, maple, oak, spruce, and willow--and then printed them by carefully following and pressing the contours of the rings until the intricate designs transferred from tree to paper. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e These exquisitely detailed prints are collected and published in this updated edition that features Gill's series of printed lumber and offcuts, such as burls, branches, knots, and scrubs, and an interview with the artist describing his labor-intensive printmaking process. \u003ci\u003eWoodcut\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to anybody who appreciates the grandeur and mystery of trees, as well as those who work with wood and marvel at the rich history embedded in its growth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An exquisite coffee table book in a soothing neutral color palette that invites hours of contemplation, \u003ci\u003eWoodcut\u003c\/i\u003e also pairs beautifully for collecting or gift-giving with \u003ci\u003eWoodcut Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWoodcut Notecards\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWoodcut Postcards\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Woodcut Memory Game\u003c\/i\u003e, or\u003ci\u003e Woodcut: Three Puzzles\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBryan Nash Gill (1961-2013) was born, lived, and worked in Connecticut.
