A cable that lifts out of Chamonix straight into the granite. The line opened in 1955 and held the record for the highest aerial tramway in the world for years afterward. The trip takes twenty minutes: green valley, a transfer at Plan de l'Aiguille, then bare rock and snow at the summit terminal. The air thins. The Mont Blanc massif fills the windows. From the top deck a small glass cube projects out over the south face. Visitors stand on a transparent floor with nearly a thousand metres of open air beneath their feet. Most people are quiet on the way down.

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