Bathymetric Map of Penobscot Bay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my layers project I will be creating a 20×20 inch 3D rendering of Penobscot Bay in Maine. Penobscot Bay was an easy choice because my mom\u2019s side of my family owns a converted 1800s Bed and Breakfast in Brooksville that has been in our family now for a century. The property is called Sea Winds and I have been vacationing there my whole life. As the name suggests the ocean is in view from the property and so the connection between that place and the water is strong for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will use layers of \u00bc inch Baltic Birch plywood to create an accurate representation of the depth of the ocean surrounding my family home. This place is where I learned to sail and so knowing the channels and unseen ledges is something I already practice in my life. For this project I will only use layers to physically represent the depth of the ocean and then use raster engraving to recreate the topographic lines of the surrounding land. For any lakes (Walkers Pond) I will cut out the shape and have the first ocean layer show through. The way that topographic and bathymetric maps use a single line to represent a single value of land elevation or ocean floor depth works so well when translating to laser cut layers stacked ontop of eachother. Because the lines will more or less flow the same general shape as they move up or down the space the final art should naturally draw the viewer’s gaze towards the concentric shapes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For colors I will only use a light blue wood stain on the layers representing the water and I will leave the land natural wood with a sealing stain. In the water I will increase the number of stain coats as the depth increases, this is to reinforce the perception of the ocean floor moving further away from the viewer. The final effect should be bright land, from the white wood of birch this will be easily created, contrasting a bright blue gradient of the water layers.\u00a0Something like this gradient of blues is what I am hoping for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cBelow the Boat\u201d layered artworks were the main inspiration for this project. However, even before seeing all the different examples during class I was thinking about doing something with Cape Cod and the ocean depths because Cape Cod is the other place where I often experience the ocean in my life. Then the in-class example of \u201cBelow the Boat\u201d was a map of Cape Cod and I knew I should probably choose another location, so Sea Winds and the waters I sail seemed the perfect choice. From these pieces I take the idea of using stained wooden layers to recreate the ocean\u2019s depths around a single layer of land. I will not include road lines on land however, instead I will have the land topography with the names of prominent towns, Islands, coves, rivers and the Bay. I will also include normal features of maps like a title, compass rose, distance scale, and depth labels for the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second piece of layer art that I wished to incorporate was the Abyss Table. I really enjoyed how the layers of blue acrylic darkened as they increased in number so I decided to try to find a way to recreate this effect by using multiple coats of blue stain on my water layers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
