Monterey is best known for its world-renowned golf course, legendary racetrack, and incredible aquarium… but there’s one more attraction that’s often overlooked: the Monterey Canyon, one of the largest underwater canyons in the world. Carved by a river several million years ago, the submarine canyon begins off the coast of Moss Landing, exactly in the center of Monterey Bay and extends a hundred miles out into the Pacific Ocean, reaching depths of over two miles below the surface. We hope that this piece reminds you of this geological wonder–which is similar in scale to the Grand Canyon–that’s hidden just beneath the waves.

This piece comes ready to hang, pre-framed in a custom, solid-wood frame. Its rich contours are carefully crafted from laser-cut layers of Baltic birch, which are hand colored and glued together with the intent that each becomes a prized conversational piece and treasured heirloom.
