Cumbres & Toltec at Cumbres Pass San Juans Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The highest stretch of narrow-gauge railroad still working in the United States. Steam locomotives built in the 1920s climb out of Chama, New Mexico, work their way up a four-percent grade through aspen and high meadow, and crest at Cumbres Pass at 10,015 feet before easing down into Toltec Gorge. Volunteers in the railyard talk about the line the way other people talk about a parent. The colour the artwork holds is the colour the smokestack leaves behind on a cold September morning, blue against gold.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
