The island San Francisco watches across the bay. Twenty-two acres of weathered concrete and salt-stripped iron, a mile and a quarter from the Embarcadero, with a foghorn that has done more work than the walls ever did. The federal penitentiary closed in 1963; the National Park Service runs the ferry now. The detail that stays with most visitors comes from the inmates' accounts: on a clear winter night, the lights of the city are visible across the water, and the sound of New Year's carries. Close enough to hear. Never close enough to walk to.

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