Mount

Two valleys come down toward the bay and meet at the bottom — Napa to the east, Sonoma to the west — and where they overlap, in the cooler ground at the foot of both, the vines spend February asleep. The cover crop doesn't. Wild mustard opens in waves, low and bright between the bare rows. The Spanish padres are said to have scattered the seed along El Camino Real in the 1700s; the vineyards now use it as a winter cover. For about six weeks the floor of the wine country is yellow. By April the vines wake and the colour is mowed under.

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