El Capitan Dawn
$22.00
The southeast face of El Capitan catches the sun before the valley floor does. From the meadow at the base, the granite holds a colour for a few minutes: a flushed rose, then a paler gold, then the working light of an ordinary morning. Climbers on the wall watch the line of light move down past their portaledges. Photographers stake out Tunnel View an hour before. The Ahwahneechee called the monolith Tu-tok-a-nu-la. Three thousand feet of stone, lit from the top down.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
