Mount

An octagonal tower of pink Verona marble in Piazza Duomo, beside the cathedral. Begun in 1196 by Benedetto Antelami, the sculptor who carved the cycle of the twelve months and four seasons standing inside the lower walls. The eight sides carry an old Christian idea: the eighth day, the day after the seventh, the day of resurrection. Late afternoon light warms the stone past pink toward something closer to coral, then back. People come for the cathedral next door and find this beside it.

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