Mount

The bridge crosses the Golden Gate strait, the gap where the Pacific meets San Francisco Bay. Irving Morrow chose the colour against the recommendation of the Navy, who wanted black and yellow stripes. International Orange, a shade picked to read against the fog that rolls in most summer afternoons. From Battery Spencer on the Marin side, the towers come up out of the white the way a piano comes up under a song you half remember. Sausalito is one bend further north. Most of the people standing there don't take a photo for the first few minutes.

— from the studio

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