Topographic Map Artwork

Laser cut and backlit

Topographic Map Artwork by Ben Keimpe Hofmans

This art piece is a topographic map of the castle hill basin area in Canterbury, New Zealand.

Layers are created from laser cut wood and acrylic - the acrylic allows it to be backlit with LEDs and produces a stunning visual effect.

Created using ArcGIS Pro and Lightburn software using data from the Land Information NZ website.

Created as a gift for my brother who rock climbs in the castle hill basin.
