The smallest comune in Italy, folded into a ravine just east of Amalfi where the Dragone river reaches the sea. The whole town is one piazza, a few stairways, and a tunnel that opens onto a dark-sand beach. Escher drew it in 1931 and then spent years redrawing it, because the houses stack in a way the eye keeps trying to resolve. Most of the day-trippers stop in Amalfi and never make the short walk around the headland. The ones who do find the square mostly empty, and the sea at the end of it.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
