Work: Bryan Nash Gill
Result: Relief prints
About: Bryan Nash Gill, is more than delighted living next to an old mill because, its here where he goes about his relief prints by creating large scale prints from the cross section of trees. How? Ink is rolled out and a piece of handcrafted washi paper is placed over the print block. Pressing little by little with his fingertips, Bryan imprints the texture of the wood on the surface of the paper. I love the idea that Bryan had to literally touch each tree-growth-ring in order to deposit its mark.
Why is it here: No man, at least in todayâs environment friendly world, would make his living by cutting down trees, but, by applying some common sense and some ink and the entire perception can change significantly.
