Ocean Wave
This book, a pull-out 3D paper model and a multi-color linocut print, constructs a virtual ocean wave by using sequential random numbers and a simple mathematical formula. To establish the physical characteristics of this wave, I used data and formulas from a classic work on wave forecasting developed after World War II. Conditions chosen were: 50-knot wind, typical wave height 40 to 50 feet, typical wave length 700 feet, with a ratio of wave length to height of 15 to 1. The 3D paper model is constructed at a scale of 1= 300 or 1 inch = 25 feet. The linocut print image is based on the 3D model and augmented using written descriptions of actual wind conditions as well as reference photographs from the Beaufort Wind Scale. However, the linocut image does not exist in photographic form.
