Statistics

Hannah and I are prepping drawings for the diorama today. We opted to remove the plywood due to the fragility factor and replaced it with easily bendable masonite. Here we are with the first coat of gesso.



I've gathered some statistics which we may or may not adhere to in our "fantasy landscape." I foresee the most difficult scenario would be making Lightning Field taller than Roden Crater in a 4' space. Fantasy indeed.

Roden Crater:

Scale = 1.8 miles across
Elevation = 5347’ or 5356’
Latitude & Longitude = 35.425º N, 111.259º W

Lightning Field:

Scale = 1 mile x 1 kilometer, 400 poles, 220’ apart
Elevation = 7200’
Latitude & Longitude = 37.25818º N, 122.0536º W

Double Negative:

Scale = 1500’ long, 50’ deep, and 30’ wide (initially)
Elevation = 1312’ (hmmm... really?)
Latitude & Longitude = 36.3655º N, 114.2040º W

Spiral Jetty:

Scale = 1500’
Elevation = 4195’ (fluctuates)
Latitude & Longitude = 41.2615º N, 112.4049º W

Sun Tunnels:

Scale = No exact dimensions found but Holt bought 40 acres, ¼ mile square
Each tube is 18’ long and 9’ wide
Elevation = 4472’ (Lucin, Utah)
Latitude & Longitude = 41.1121º N, 113.2740º W

Amarillo Ramp:

Scale = 140’ diameter, 15’ tall (and shrinking)
Elevation = 3668’ (Cadillac Ranch since I couldn't find anything closer)
Latitude & Longitude = 35.1732º N, 102.737º W
