A wonderfully creative blend of digital technology and good old-fashioned wood, this 3-dimensional map of a body of water and the adjacent terra firma is fascinating. Starting with scans of a bathymetric chart (the underwater equivalent of a topographic map), laser-cutters are employed to carve the contours into sheets of Baltic birch plywood. The sheets are then glued together to create a powerful visual depth. The water layers are stained blue-green, so it's easy to discern land from water, major byways are etched into the land layers, then the whole thing is framed in a custom, solid-wood frame, and protected with a sheet of durable, ultra-transparent plexiglass. The Washington D.C. Wood Chart measures 24.5" x 31".
