From a plain brick courtyard in Ravenna, the door opens onto gold. Above the altar a young Christ sits on a blue globe in a green meadow, the four rivers of paradise running out beneath him. On the side walls the emperor Justinian and the empress Theodora stand in procession, where they have stood since the year 547. It holds the largest spread of Byzantine mosaic outside Istanbul, and it is the only church of its age to come down to us whole. People tend to go quiet at the door.

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