Mount

A brick Gothic church in San Polo, the quiet quarter of Venice, west of the crowds at the Rialto. The Franciscans started it around 1330 and finished a century and a half later. Inside, the nave runs long and dim until it reaches the high altar, where Titian's Assumption has hung since 1518, a wall of red and gold the whole building seems built to carry. Past it, a carved wooden choir still stands in the middle of the floor, the way it did in 1475. People come in talking and go quiet without being asked.

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