A Baren made of Hornbeam, (also known as Ironwood) and a Bamboo disc baren made with a Bamboo leaf and a recycled record player dust cleaner. Most of his woodcuts were created from dead or damaged tree parts that he collected and took to his studio to prepare cross-sections of the wood for relief printing. I needed a drawing space separate from my sculpting space so I designed a drawing studio upstairs and the sculpture studio on the ground floor. Its engagement is to understand his place in this world in this time, which he has to participate as a record of his connection to it.

Gill earned his Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from Tulane University in 1984 and his Masters of Fine Arts from the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland four years later. Bryan Nash Gill (November 3, 1961 – May 17, 2013) was an American artist who worked primarily with wood, in the form of relief prints and sculptures.

Gill used recycled lumber, covered it with ink and paper and pressed and scratched the wood pattern on the paper with his fingers.One of Gill's first works after he resettled in Connecticut was a sculpture composed of 42 upside-down hanging Christmas trees.
