Otranto Cathedral
$22.00
The whole floor is one drawing. A monk named Pantaleone spent two years laying it down in stone, a tree that climbs the length of the nave with Adam and Noah and King Arthur tucked into its branches. People have walked across it for more than eight hundred years and it is still here, still growing toward the altar. Otranto sits at the far eastern edge of Italy's heel, the first town in the country the morning reaches. Inside, the light comes down through the rose window and the floor holds it.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
