Mount

A stained-glass coupole above the atrium of Galeries Lafayette on Boulevard Haussmann. Designed by Ferdinand Chanut and completed in 1912, with the leaded glass by Jacques Gruber of the Nancy School and the wrought iron by Louis Majorelle. The dome rises forty-three metres over the perfume counters; the easiest view is from the third-floor balcony, looking up while a hundred years of light comes down through coloured glass. People go to Paris for the museums and the river and forget to go in. Admission is free.

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