Connecticut-based artist Bryan Nash Gill creates large-scale relief prints from the cross sections of trees, by carefully following and pressing the contours of rings and ridges until the intricate designs transfer from tree to paper. He rescues the wood from the property surrounding his studio and neighboring land. The results are colored, nuanced shapes—mesmerizing impressions of the structural integrity hidden inside each tree.
You can see a video of his process over at Vimeo, and prints are also available over at Ashes & Milk.
