A giant sequoia, 275 feet tall and 21 feet across at the base, fell across the Crescent Meadow Road on a still night in December 1937. No storm, no warning; old sequoias sometimes simply go. A park crew cut an eight-foot-high, seventeen-foot-wide passage through the trunk the following summer rather than haul the tree off, and cars have been driving through it ever since. The bark is brick red where it has weathered. The pine duff inside the cut still smells of sequoia in the heat. A bypass road runs around for anything too tall to fit.

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