Mono Lake Tufa
Hand-Painted Prints
Ghosts of former underground springs are markers in the landscape; sculptural signposts for the latent volcanic potential hidden beneath the surface, awaiting the necessary circumstances suitable for a manifestation. All is black and white and then suddenly, color.
Born of melting glaciers and volcanoes, Mono Lake sits in a geologically active area just 28 miles north of the Long Valley Caldera, the second largest super volcano in North America. It is a terminal basin, meaning no water flows out other than evaporation. Lake water levels, which are measured yearly, are primarily dependent on snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada mountain range to sustain the ecosystem. The extremely low 2022 water levels are an indication of California’s severe drought.
