This is Bryan Nash Gill who creates these
amazing relief prints of tree rings
Living next to an old mill, Bryan is able to procure beautiful
specimens to his studio. The above image shows Bryan preparing
the surface of a Hemlock tree cross section into a print block
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....

Fantastic wood print!! I wonder how old the tree was. I can see so many rings.
The post about "the Kelpie" was fantastic as well. I enjoyed a lot reading it! Thank you, Mette.
It must have been an old tree. As I get older I hate more and more to see trees being cut down; I love old trees! I'm glad you liked the Kelpie post ;O)
