Stewarding Knowledges

Partnered with the the Gatekeepers Museum in Tahoe City, California to design and construct interactive models and of Lake Tahoe depicting the past, present, and future of Lake Tahoe. Downloading topographical data, I used a CNC machine with help from the USF woodshop director to create three 3D maps. 3 completed maps and accompanying posters are currently on display at the Gatekeeper’s Museum in Tahoe City, CA.
