About Coastline Tafel
Boektekst: Coastline is in tafel dy't ynspirearre is troch de stigende seespegel dy't feroarsake wurdt troch de opwaarming fan de ierde. It tafelblêd is makke fan akryl, ek bekend as PMMA, en is foarme troch ferwaarming op hege temperatuer om helder seewetter te suggerearjen. De stypjende struktuer is makke fan michelia compressa en pinehout, en it hout stelt de hichte fan bergen foar. Der is keazen foar hurd hout, sadat de struktuer net fervoarme soe ûnder it ferwaarmingsproses. De ûnregelmjittige râne docht tinken oan in kustline dy't útholle is troch de see, en de kombinaasje fan materialen makket it mooglik dat ljocht yn lagen trochskynt. De tafel is 350 mm breed, 650 mm djip en 500 mm heech.
