Mount

A salt lake on the dry side of the Sierra, older than most of the mountains around it. The tufa towers, limestone spires, grew underwater for centuries, where calcium springs met the lake's heavy alkaline chemistry. When the city of Los Angeles began diverting the inflow streams in 1941, the lake dropped and the towers came into the air. South Tufa is the photographed shore. People drive up Highway 395 from Mammoth, park before dawn, and wait for the light to come over the Sierra and find the stone.

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