Mount

The most accessible dune field in Death Valley, just off Highway 190 at Stovepipe Wells. The dunes rest on an old lakebed where mesquite trees still hold the sand in scattered hummocks and the wind redrafts the ridgelines overnight. The tallest crest stands about a hundred feet, low compared to the Eureka or Ibex fields but the most walked. Photographers come for the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, when the slip faces cast long shadows and the tracks left by kit foxes and kangaroo rats are still legible on the sand.

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