I Made This Crater Lake Sculpture With A Mirror Inside

ADVERTISEMENT

This piece was made out of laser cut mat-board, with an embedded mirror as the surface of the water, and framed with stained hickory. The wall hanging piece is 33 in x 43 in x 4 in

After visiting this amazing national park this May, I decided to recreate it with a bit of a psychedelic spin.

I use a laser cutter at a local maker space here in Colorado (Tinkermill in Longmont). I cut out the layers from 28 different sheets of colored mat-board, then I glue the sheets back together with spray adhesive and some added PVA glue. there is a sheet of mirrored glass embedded into the mat-board at the elevation of the water surface. Finally, I framed it all is some dark stained hickory wood. If you have any more questions comment or email, I’d love to know your thoughts!

Crater Lake is one of my favorite places in the PacNW. What you've done is flat-out AMAZING. You really captured the topography. Brilliant!
