Twelve cottages on a quiet lake at the edge of the Versailles gardens, past the Petit Trianon. Marie Antoinette commissioned it in 1783, and Richard Mique built it for her in three years. The painters Tolède and Dardignac were told to put cracks in the plaster, aging every wall before its time. The hamlet was a working farm with vines, sheep, an orchard, a dairy. The queen came to be quiet, away from the watched rooms of the château. The cottages still stand around the lake. People walk through and lower their voices without meaning to.

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