Two Buttes reservoir Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
Twin igneous peaks rising about three hundred feet above an otherwise flat shortgrass prairie, and a reservoir at their foot that comes and goes with the weather. Two Buttes Creek is an intermittent stream, empty most years, then heavy enough after a southeast Colorado storm to fill a half-mile basin behind the dam built in 1910. When the lake is full, anglers from Lamar and Springfield drive in for wiper and channel catfish. When it isn't, the basin reads as cracked clay under a sky that never stops. Both versions of the place are the place.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
