I discovered a new artist this week. I picked up a book by Bryan Nash Gill called Woodcut. It's a wonderfully designed volume, made up entirely of woodcuts printed directly from sections of trees. The tree is cut, but the woodblock is otherwise untouched, offering us a view directly into the heart of the wood. Gill, who is also a sculptor, has developed a way to work with these sections in such a way as to honor the tree and provide for viewers a new way to contemplate and appreciate these extraordinary life forms. It's all about the trees.

You may see his works on paper, as well as his sculpture at his website:
