Waimoku Falls Pipiwai Maui Ceramic Art Tile

A four-hundred-foot ribbon of water down a wall of dark basalt, reached by a four-mile out-and-back through the rainforest of east Maui. The walk begins at the Pools of ʻOheʻo and climbs slowly, past Makahiku Falls and a wide-spread banyan, before the path turns into a stand of bamboo. The stalks clack overhead in the trade winds. The forest holds the light. Then it opens, and the cliff is there. Waimoku, falling the whole way down.

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