The oldest planned square in Paris, begun by Henry IV in 1605 and inaugurated in 1612. Thirty-six identical pavilions of red brick and white stone, steep blue slate roofs, an arcade running the whole way around. Victor Hugo lived at number six for sixteen years. Locals still walk the gravel paths between the four fountains as if the square were a private room. The Marais kept it. The Revolution left it standing. Four hundred years on, the lindens have grown tall.

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