Every photograph of Pisa is the same photograph: someone in the foreground, palm out, holding it up. The tower has been falling since 1178, when the third storey rose on ground too soft to hold its weight. The builders kept going, curving the upper floors to chase the vertical, and the lean only deepened. Eight centuries later it still stands, caught now at just under four degrees after engineers spent a decade easing it back. It is the bell tower of the cathedral beside it. Almost nobody comes for the cathedral.

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