About this piece

The ring format suits a lake this big. The Keweenaw Peninsula hooks into the middle, Isle Royale lies off the north shore, the Apostle Islands cluster to the west, and the basin drops past a thousand feet, all held inside the open circle 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 U.P. cabin, a Duluth or Marquette home, or anyone who has stood on the shore of the cold one.

The full lake in stacked depth layers hangs as the Lake Superior 3D chart.
