The Royal Gate at the eastern approach to the Palace of Versailles. Reconstructed in 2008 from period drawings, after the original was pulled down during the Revolution. About eighty metres of black wrought iron crowned in gold leaf, roughly a hundred thousand sheets of it. Buses arrive before the palace opens, and the gate is the first thing you see, set against the long courtyards. The colour holds in winter light, holds harder in summer.

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