A 115-foot concrete tower on the Mendocino coast of California, standing on a headland just north of where the San Andreas Fault comes ashore at Manchester Beach. The original brick lighthouse, lit in 1870, was destroyed by the 18 April 1906 earthquake — Point Arena was closer to the rupture than San Francisco. The current tower was completed in 1908 as the first steel-reinforced concrete lighthouse in the United States, engineered to withstand the next quake. The first-order Fresnel lens that lit the new tower is now on display in the museum at the base. The light was automated in 1977, and the keepers' cottages have since been let as overnight lodging.

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