Mount

The Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune, built by Nicolas Rolin in 1443 as a hospital for the poor. The roof is the thing. Close to 100,000 polychrome tiles in yellow, green, red, and black, set in diamond patterns that have held since 1452. Inside, the Salle des Pôvres still holds the long row of curtained beds where the sick were nursed for five hundred years. Every November on the third Sunday a wine auction happens here, and the proceeds still go where Nicolas Rolin meant them to. Nobody who comes is in a hurry.

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