Mount

The salt floor of Death Valley, eighty-five metres below sea level. The lowest open ground on the continent. A small spring-fed pool sits beside the road, too salty to drink; the basin takes its name from the mule that refused it. Walk out a few hundred yards and the white opens into hexagons, the crust the last evaporated lake left behind, redrawn every winter by what little rain falls. Telescope Peak rises eleven thousand feet to the west, above all of it. In summer the air goes past 120°F by noon. In November it is just possible to stand there.

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