Anza-Borrego Superbloom
$22.00
Six hundred thousand acres of desert, east of San Diego. Most years it stays the colour of stone: ocotillo, cholla, dry wash. Then a wet winter comes, and for three or four weeks in March the floor goes gold with desert sunflower, pink with sand verbena, white with dune evening primrose. The locals call it a superbloom. It does not happen on schedule. Big bloom years like 2005, 2017, and 2019 pulled traffic down Henderson Canyon Road in both directions, people pulled over without a place to park. Then the heat comes back and the desert closes again until the next wet winter.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
