Brunelleschi closed the dome in 1436 and Florence has been answering to it ever since. The cathedral sits in old Florence between the Arno and the hills of Fiesole, faced in white Carrara, green Prato, and pink Maremma marble that catches different light at every hour. The dome is brick. Four million of them, set in a herringbone pattern that holds itself up without a centring frame, an engineering method no one had managed before. From a window in Oltrarno, or a rooftop in San Lorenzo, it's the thing the eye finds first.

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