The largest Gothic palace in Europe sits on a rock above the Rhône. Seven popes ruled from Avignon in the fourteenth century, after the papal court moved from Rome and stayed for nearly seventy years. The limestone catches the afternoon light and holds it. Every July the Festival d'Avignon opens with a play in the Cour d'Honneur, the same courtyard Clement VI received cardinals in. People come for the festival and stay for the palace, or arrive for the palace and find themselves at the theatre.

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