Mount

The highest fortress in the Apennines, alone on a bare ridge in Abruzzo with the Navelli plain falling away on every side. The watchtower went up in the tenth century; the four round towers came three hundred years later, and a 1461 earthquake took most of the rest. What's left is stone the colour of the mountain, and a small octagonal church a little way down the path toward Santo Stefano di Sessanio. The road ends below; the last stretch is on foot. By late afternoon the light comes in low and the wind does most of the talking.

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