A long shallow basin in the Jardin du Luxembourg, lined with plane trees and the green metal chairs Parisians drag wherever they please. At the far end, a grotto holds Polyphemus surprising the lovers Acis and Galatea, Auguste Ottin's 1866 tableau set into the original 1630 fountain Marie de' Medici built to remember Florence. People come here to read. The light filters slowly through the canopy, the basin sits half in shade, and the city overhead seems further away than the few blocks it actually is.

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