A glass-domed arcade in the middle of Naples, opened in 1890, in the years the city was tearing through its oldest and most crowded quarter to let in light and air. Four marble halls meet under a dome of iron and glass, and by mid-morning the whole floor goes bright. At the centre, a compass rose and the twelve signs of the zodiac are set into the marble; people still stop to find their own sign and stand on it. The San Carlo opera house sits directly across the street. Most days the Galleria is a shortcut and a meeting place at once, all footsteps and coffee under the light.

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