Mount

A fourteenth-century aqueduct that became a road into the woods. It crosses the Tessino gorge on nine arches of pale stone, joining the old fortress on Sant'Elia hill to the wooded mountain of Monteluco on the far side. Goethe walked across it in 1786 and wrote it down; Turner sketched it from the road to Rome. For eight years after the 2016 earthquakes the bridge stayed shut, then opened again at the end of 2024. Now it carries walkers, cyclists, and dogs, all of them slowing somewhere near the middle, where the green is farthest down.

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