The Ember Cut

Four cuts in red rock, warm to the hand, rails warped by heat.

A closer look

At the threshold

The four cuts open into red stone that holds its warmth. Rails bend where the heat has argued with their shape. Deeper in, the fused floor carries the same lesson: the miners work a place that has not finished cooling.
