Lake Shasta
$22.00
A reservoir at the top of the Sacramento Valley, where the Pit, the McCloud, the Squaw, and the Sacramento meet behind Shasta Dam. Iron-red earth above the waterline, a band that rises and falls with the year. Houseboats out by August, the McCloud arm always the coldest. Mount Shasta sits white to the north, fifty miles off. When the lake is full it holds more water than any reservoir in California; when it isn't, the bare ring around it is a record of the year's rain.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
