The Hall of Mirrors: a 73-metre gallery on the first floor of the Château de Versailles. Seventeen tall windows face the gardens to the west; seventeen mirrored arches answer them across the room. Late afternoon is when the gallery does its trick. The low sun reaches in across the parterre and the gilding catches twice. Charles Le Brun painted the ceiling between 1681 and 1684; the names of Louis XIV's campaigns are written across it in Latin. Two pieces of paper that reshaped Europe were signed in this room: the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871, and the Treaty that closed the First World War in 1919. The tour comes through quickly. Some people slow down here.

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