Mount

A Norman cathedral on the hill above Palermo, lined floor to vault in gold-ground mosaic, somewhere over six thousand square metres of it. The vast half-figure of Christ fills the apse, his right hand raised, and the gold behind him holds whatever light comes through the door. Out the side is the old Benedictine cloister, a square of two hundred and twenty-eight paired columns, no two capitals carved alike. People come up from the city, stand a while under the apse, and tend to lower their voices.

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