Seventeen aluminum spires above the cadet area at the United States Air Force Academy, with the Rampart Range rising behind them. Walter Netsch designed the chapel at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in the late 1950s, a frame of tetrahedrons clad in aluminum with narrow strips of coloured glass set between, so the light inside the nave changes hour by hour. Dedicated in 1963 and named a National Historic Landmark in 2004. Long closed for the restoration that began in 2019, and before that the most-visited man-made site in Colorado. The artwork is for the cadets who were married under those spires, the family who drove up from Manitou one Sunday morning, the architect who watched it go up.

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