Mount

From the obelisk at Place de la Concorde, the avenue runs west a mile and a quarter to the Arc de Triomphe. The straight axis was laid out by André Le Nôtre in 1667, when the ground was still market gardens. The lower half is a public garden of plane and chestnut. The upper half is the limestone of the Haussmann era, set back behind the trees. People walk it slowly. Tourists in the middle, Parisians on the side streets. Late afternoon, the light comes off the arch and runs the full length of the avenue, gold on the cream stone.

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