Mount

Seventeen named spires on a single ridge, west of Mammoth Mountain. The Minarets are darker than the granite Sierra around them, made of older metavolcanic rock that the glaciers cut into sharper edges. Clyde, Michael, Eichorn, Jensen: each one carries a climber's name. From the overlook off Highway 203 the row turns red about ten minutes before the sun is gone, then black, then nothing. Ansel Adams photographed them from the Garnet Lake side. The wilderness still carries his name.

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