Leonard Knight came to the California desert in 1984 with a hot-air balloon and a message. He stayed almost thirty years and built a hill out of adobe, hay bales, and somewhere on the order of a hundred thousand gallons of donated latex paint. God Is Love is the line painted across the top, in yellow on a pink ground. He lived in his truck at the foot of the work. Knight died in 2014, and a volunteer-run foundation has kept the paint fresh against the desert sun ever since. Most visitors find it by mistake on the way to Slab City. They walk up the yellow brick road that Knight painted into the side.

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