About this piece
The Bay's long shape was born for this format: two hundred etched miles under the Old Bay and the mallets, the Bay Bridge crossing mid-tray, every river mouth in place for the geography arguments that accompany picking crabs. The acrylic surface takes butter, vinegar, and beer rings without keeping evidence.
It carries the oysters in November and the tomatoes in July, both with jurisdiction.
The Bay in full stacked relief hangs as the Chesapeake Bay 3D chart.
