From Woodcut by Bryan Nash Gil
Hemlock 82, 2008
39 1/2 x 38 1/4 inches
(above) This trunk was found at a pig farm in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. I was immediately drawn to the strong pattern of the wavy rings (the result of irregularities in the growth of the hole). In the print, a cut branch creates a prominent form that extends from the center to the right edge, and various insect holes dot the lower perimeter of the block.

According to Nakashima, the abnormal shape that is credited with the irregular grain is the result of a storm (heavy winds trying to rip out the tree)
