Mount

Pikes Peak rises 8,000 feet above Colorado Springs in a single move. Granite and snow on the western horizon, the high plains running east to Kansas. Katharine Lee Bates wrote 'America the Beautiful' after reaching the summit in 1893; the Ute had long called the mountain Tava, the Sun Mountain. The cog railway has carried passengers from Manitou Springs to the top since 1891, rebuilt and back in service since 2021. From the city the mountain reads as a wall: pink granite at midday, the colour deepening through the long Colorado evening, gone again before sunrise.

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