A nine-mile one-way loop off Badwater Road, between Furnace Creek and the salt flats at Badwater Basin. The colours come from oxidised metals in volcanic ash laid down five million years ago. Iron makes the pinks and yellows, manganese the lavender, decomposed mica the green. The road climbs through narrow canyons, then opens at a small pull-off where the painted hills stand directly across the wash. Most cars roll through in twenty minutes. The light that brings the colour out arrives about an hour before sunset, when the desert is mostly empty.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
