A sculptural layered bamboo art map of Waitematā Harbour, celebrating the meeting point between Auckland city and sea in a subtle, refined way.
This Matai Gallery large art map presents Waitematā Harbour in a more abstract and sculptural style. By removing colour and street detail, the artwork effectively strips the water from the harbour, allowing the form, contours and relationship between land and sea to become the focus.
Subtle, refined and fascinating, this piece blurs the line between map and sculpture. Topography is represented throughout the design, while the sea-level dividing layer invites closer inspection, making this a quiet but highly considered artwork for those who love Auckland, design, geography and meaningful places.
Carefully constructed by hand, layer by layer, in our Wairarapa workshop, this eight-layer bamboo art map brings texture, depth and presence to one of Auckland’s most recognisable harbour landscapes.
Choose from a black or white frame to suit your space. Made from layered bamboo ply and framed in FSC pine, each map is carefully finished by hand. Due to the handmade construction and natural materials used, each piece may vary slightly from the image shown, making every map unique.
