Mount

Fifty metres of stone at the top of the Champs-Élysées, where twelve avenues fan out from a roundabout most Parisians cross by tunnel. Napoleon commissioned it in 1806, after Austerlitz; he didn't live to see it finished. Beneath the central vault, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the first war, and a flame that has been kept lit since 1923. At six-thirty each evening a small group gathers and rekindles it. The traffic keeps going. The names of 158 battles and 660 generals stay carved into the limestone above.

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