Mount

The old island at the tip of Syracuse, where Sicily faces the Ionian Sea. The whole Greek city began here in 734 BC, on a piece of limestone barely a kilometre long, and the island never threw anything away. A Doric temple to Athena still stands inside the walls of the cathedral. Down at the water, a freshwater spring called Arethusa rises a few steps from the salt, papyrus leaning over it. People come for the evening, when the stone goes the colour of a banked fire and the streets empty toward the sea.

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