A pale concrete column on Telegraph Hill, finished in 1933 with money Lillie Hitchcock Coit left to the city she'd spent her childhood chasing fire engines through. The shape is plain: fluted, two hundred and ten feet of art deco, set in the small park at the top. From the observation deck the body of San Francisco reads at one glance: the bay, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate, the Bay Bridge. Inside the base, twenty-seven painters of the Public Works of Art Project covered the walls in 1934 while the country was still in the Depression. The frescoes are still there. People go up for the view and stay for the murals.

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