A wall built for a war that never arrived. The ramparts went up over a century and a half, finished in 1648, thick enough at the base to stop cannon, and then no army came. In the 1820s the Duchess Maria Luisa turned the top into a public walk and planted it. Now it is a green ring above the rooftops, an unbroken loop over the old town, nearly seven hundred plane trees deep, and on most evenings the whole town seems to be up there walking it. The defence that was never needed became the place everyone goes.

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