The silversword grows only on the upper slopes of Mauna Kea, on a black stone field where it frosts most nights of the year. Silver hairs on its leaves bounce back the high-altitude sun. The plant can take fifty years or more to flower, then sends up a single stalk of purplish blooms and dies. Almost gone by the 1980s; fenced now against the mouflon, replanted by hand. The rosette holds its shape against the wind. From below it looks like a small moon caught on the stone. — from the studio

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