Manta Ray Kona Big Island Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
Two small dive sites off the Kona coast of the Big Island. Manta Village down at Keauhou Bay, Manta Heaven up near the airport. Boats anchor after dark. Lanterns drop on a line and pull plankton up out of the dark water. The reef mantas follow. Wingspans of twelve, fourteen feet. They roll slowly through the cones of light, mouths open, then pass under and come back. Nobody on the boat talks much when the mantas are up close.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
