A square you don't so much enter as fall into the center of. Michelangelo drew it for Pope Paul III in the 1530s: the trapezoid of the buildings, the oval pavement, the twelve-pointed star unrolling from under the bronze horseman at its heart. He never saw the stone laid; the pattern waited four hundred years for the floor. The horseman is Marcus Aurelius, or a copy of him now, the original kept safe indoors. People come up the long ramp from the street and slow without deciding to. It is the quietest crowded place in Rome.

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