A hunting lodge only a king would call a lodge: 137 rooms thrown out from a single oval hall, southwest of Turin. Filippo Juvarra drew it for Victor Amadeus II in 1729, the wings spread wide like the legs of a saltire cross, the great salone painted with Diana at the hunt. A bronze stag stands at the top of the dome, looking out over woods that were once the royal chase and are now a public park. Nobody hurries through the oval room. The light comes down through it the way it must have when the hunts still rode out at dawn.

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