A second-century country villa east of Rome, where the Emperor Hadrian gathered the architecture of the empire under one roof. The long reflecting pool of the Canopus, the island of the Maritime Theatre, a colonnade copied from Athens. About a hundred and twenty hectares of ruin spread across the olive country below Tivoli. Most of the marble and the statues were taken to Roman museums centuries ago. What stays is the geometry, and the slow water, and a few of the original columns standing where Hadrian put them. April and October are the kinder months.

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