A small white lighthouse set about 294 feet above the Pacific at the western tip of Point Reyes, reached by a flight of 308 stairs down the cliff face. The lamp first lit on December 1, 1870; the first-order Fresnel lens was cut in Paris and shipped around Cape Horn. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1975 and the optic survives in place, now stewarded by the National Park Service. Gray whales pass close in from January through April, and the lighthouse landing is among the closest points to that migration on the West Coast. The wind, when it blows, comes at the structure without anything in its way.

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