Roman Forum
$22.00
The valley below the Capitoline Hill, the floor of Rome the empire walked on. Marble bases without their columns, columns without their roofs, weeds in the cracks of the paving. The Arch of Septimius Severus still stands at the western end, the Arch of Titus at the eastern. Best in late afternoon when the travertine takes the light and turns warm. Locals walk the rim of it on their way home. Cats sleep on the broken pediments. A working ruin, in the middle of a working city.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
