Eiffel Tower
$22.00
Three hundred and thirty metres of wrought iron above the Champ-de-Mars. The thing nobody tells you about the lattice: close up it is mostly sky, painted over by ironwork only where the structure asks for it. From the Trocadéro it reads as a single shape; from the lawn beneath the legs it reads as a cathedral of light. On the hour after sunset, for five minutes, twenty thousand bulbs flicker across the frame. The crowd does not say much during those five minutes.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
