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.

A Narragansett Bay wall clock in carved birch, the bay's islands and passages etched across the face with the hands sweeping from Providence to the open sound.

The bay sets Rhode Island's clock more than Rhode Island admits: race nights out of the sailing towns, quahoggers working the flats on their own schedule, the bridge lights coming on over the East Passage at dusk. The etching holds it all in miniature, Conanicut and Prudence mid-bay, Newport at the gate.

Sized for the wall of anyone whose directions include which passage and which side.

The bay's full depths are stacked in birch on the Narragansett Bay 3D chart.
