Mount

The Salyes built a sanctuary at the spring first, the Greeks of Massalia visited and traded, and then the Romans built a town over the top of it all. Two monuments stood above ground for two millennia at the southern entrance, the Mausoleum of the Julii and a triumphal arch, while the rest of Glanum slowly went under. Excavation began in 1921. The houses and the forum are out again now, and the paved street the Romans walked is open underfoot. The Alpilles hold the heat. The cicadas don't stop. Van Gogh painted on the asylum grounds across the road, the year before he died.

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