Mount

A medieval town high in the Italian Alps, at the foot of the Stelvio Pass road. The old centre is stone and pitched roofs and narrow ways the snow narrows further. The Kuerc loggia. Piazza Cavour. The Torre delle Ore. Romans came here for the thermal springs and called it Burmium; the springs still run, hot, a short walk from the square. In January the light goes early and the lamps come on early to meet it. There is a moment around four when the white turns the colour of old slate, and the stone holds the last of the day before letting it go.

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