Mount

One of the great Romanesque churches of Europe, begun in 1099 on the Po plain. The architect was Lanfranco; the carving is Wiligelmo's, and the four panels of Genesis across the facade are among the earliest signed sculpture in the Christian West. The marble has weathered nine centuries to a low honey colour. Saint Geminianus is still in the crypt, in the urn he was laid in. People cross Piazza Grande without looking up at the leaning tower, the way you stop seeing the thing you pass every day.

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