Mount

A dry lake bed in the far northwestern corner of Death Valley National Park, 3,700 feet up, ringed by the Cottonwood and Last Chance ranges. Stones the size of cantaloupes leave straight and curving trails across the cracked clay surface, sometimes hundreds of feet long. The motion stayed a mystery for ninety years. In December 2013, researchers with GPS tags on the stones recorded the answer: a thin sheet of ice forming on shallow rain, breaking up at dawn, and shoving the rocks across the playa on a few millimetres of water. The road in is 26 miles of rough washboard from Ubehebe Crater.

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