Two small orange cars on the side of Bunker Hill, passing each other halfway. They run on a single cable, counterweighted, so one comes down when the other goes up. Built in 1901 to spare downtown clerks the climb from Hill Street, taken apart in 1969 during the Bunker Hill redevelopment, and brought back in 1996 a block south of where they used to be. The ride is about ninety seconds. People come out of Grand Central Market with sandwiches in paper and take the cars because they're still there.

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