The tallest Gothic choir ever built sits in a town an hour north of Paris that doesn't quite expect it. The vault climbs to about forty-eight metres from the floor to the keystone. The nave was never finished. Masons reached for a height the era's stone could not steadily hold, and the vault came down once in 1284 before they put it up again with more columns. What remains is half a cathedral, and an upper window run that lets so much light into the room you understand what the builders were after. People who study Gothic architecture come here on purpose.

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