Central Valley Almond Bloom
$22.00
The Central Valley is roughly 450 miles long, bordered by the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Ranges. For about three weeks in February, more than a million acres of almond orchards bloom at once. The blossoms are pale pink and white, and beekeepers truck honey-bee colonies in from across the United States to pollinate them. From the air it reads like a wash of pink down the floor of California. From the road, between Modesto and Bakersfield, the orchards run straight to the horizon. By the end of March the petals are already on the ground.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
