Two of the maps encourage people to discover the Senedd’s constituencies and regional boundaries, and the Members who represent them. The third map is a striking work of art which celebrates Wales’ landscape, as mountains, hills and valleys form waves on the surface. Artist's comments: 'Technically, the largest map was a challenge because of all the layers of sheet steel needed to build up the mountains and landscape. Each sheet is individually cut, and care is needed to find each piece and place them together to gradually build up the mountain peaks and form the valleys.' The sculpture weighs a quarter of a tonne and measures two meters width by a little over two metres in height. It is set on wheels so it can be displayed in other parts of the Senedd, and people are encouraged to touch the steel, to feel the mountain ranges and follow the route of the valleys and the dramatic coastline.
