Mount

Sixteen acres of boiling springs and fumaroles in the high country of Lassen Volcanic National Park, reached by a three-mile trail climbing from Highway 89. The crust is thin in places, and the boardwalk keeps visitors from the same mistake Kendall Bumpass made when he broke through it in 1865 and lost a leg. Steam comes up sulphur-yellow against the ash-grey pools, and Big Boiler, the largest fumarole, runs at temperatures recorded above 320 degrees. Lassen Peak, just north of the basin, last erupted in 1917 and is still classified as active. The road over the park melts open in late June and closes again by October.

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