Mount

The seventh of the California missions, set down in 1776 between the Pacific and the Santa Ana foothills. The Great Stone Church stood for six years before the December morning in 1812 when the earth shook it apart during Mass; the four bells survived, the arches survived, and Father Serra's small adobe chapel of 1782 survived. The chapel still holds a candle. Each March, by tradition, the cliff swallows that wintered in Argentina come back to nest in the broken walls. Fewer of them now than there used to be, but the bells still ring for them on Saint Joseph's Day.

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