About this piece

The ring format suits a body of water this round. The coastline wraps nearly all the way around the open circle, the Mississippi Delta pushing out from the north shore, the Keys trailing off to the southeast, the shelf stepping down into the deep basin at the center, while the hands sweep around it. It reads as sculpture first and clock second, which is the correct order for a wall piece.

Right for a Gulf Coast beach house, a Texas fishing camp, or anyone who has watched the sun set over this water.

The full Gulf in stacked depth layers hangs as the Gulf of America 3D chart.
