How the Water Becomes Wood

The face is the water itself, holding regular hours.

  1. ChartThe shoreline is taken from a bathymetric chart of the water.
  2. CutThe face is laser-cut birch with a hand-stained water layer beneath.
  3. EtchContours, depths, and place names are burned into the surface.
  4. RunA single AA battery drives the movement, and it arrives ready to hang.

An Ireland wall clock: a 12 inch carved birch face with the whole island etched beneath the hands, Wild Atlantic Way and all.

Irish time famously flexes, one more story, one more song, and this clock keeps the official version while the etched island supplies the excuses: Galway Bay, the southwest peninsulas, Dublin's curve, all in miniature under the sweep of the hands.

It suits a kitchen, a pub corner at home, or any wall in the diaspora keeping the old country close.

The island's full coastline in carved layers hangs as the Ireland 3D chart.
