Mount

A theatre cut into the side of Monte Tauro, with the stone seats facing east toward Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea below. The Greeks shaped the first cavea here in the third century BC; the Romans rebuilt it in brick a few hundred years later. Either way, the view was the point. On a clear morning the volcano sits exactly where the back wall used to be. Music still fills the place in summer for concerts, opera, and the Taormina Film Festival. The same stone still does its work.

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