A Roman amphitheatre in the south of France, two storeys of arches still standing after nearly two thousand years. Built late in the first century AD, the arena once seated twenty-four thousand for gladiator combats and animal hunts. The honey-coloured limestone holds the afternoon light the way southern stone does. Warmer at four, deeper at six. In the centuries between Rome and now, the city built houses inside the arches; in the centuries since, it has hosted bullfights, summer concerts, and the same Roman sun. Nîmes calls itself the French Rome, and the arena is the reason.

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