Devils Postpile
$22.00
A wall of basalt columns about sixty feet tall, at the end of a half-mile walk through lodgepole pines in the Sierra Nevada. The lava cooled and cracked into hexagons eighty thousand years ago; a glacier later passed over the top and polished the column-ends smooth. The road in opens for a few months each summer and closes when the snow returns. Most of the year the monument belongs to the river and the marmots.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
