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.
Mae dau o’r mapiau yn annog pobl i ddysgu am ffiniau etholaethau a rhanbarthau’r Senedd, ac am yr Aelodau sy’n eu cynrychioli. Mae’r trydydd map yn ddarn o gelf trawiadol sy’n dathlu tirwedd Cymru wrth i fynyddoedd, bryniau a dyffrynnoedd ffurfio tonnau ar wyneb y gwaith.
Sylwadau’r artist: 'Yn dechnegol, roedd y map mwyaf yn heriol oherwydd yr haenau o ddur dalennog roedd eu hangen i greu’r mynyddoedd a’r dirwedd. Cafodd pob dalen ei thorri’n unigol, ac roedd angen bod yn ofalus wrth eu dewis a’u rhoi wrth ei gilydd cyn eu gosod yn eu trefn i adeiladu’r mynyddoedd a chreu’r dyffrynnoedd.' Mae’r cerflun yn pwyso chwarter tunnell, ac yn mesur dau fetr o led ac ychydig dros ddau fetr o daldra. Mae wedi’i osod ar olwynion, er mwyn medru ei arddangos mewn gwahanol rannau o’r Senedd, a chaiff pobl eu hannog i gyffwrdd â’r dur, i deimlo’r cadwyni o fynyddoedd a dilyn llwybr y dyffrynnoedd a’r arfordir dramatig. 'Rwy’n teimlo fy mod i wed i dod i adnabod a gwerthfawrogi Cymru, pob modfedd ohoni, a’i gweld hi o’r newydd,' meddai Angharad. 'Gobeithio y bydd pobl yn teimlo'r un fath ac yn gwerthfawrogi prydferthwch y tir, y mynyddoedd a siâp y wlad mewn ffordd nad ydi’n bosibl ar fap neu sat nav.
