Woodcuts!

I saw some intriguing woodcuts by Calgary artist Lisa Brawn at the Axis Gallery in Art Central this weekend. Apparently she's been using hundred year old Douglas Fir beams from heritage buildings and grain elevators for her material, which is so flipping cool: I love art that salvages local history. If only I had a few hundred bucks to spare, I'd get this Johnny Cash (something about the background stars really appeals to me):
