Fourteen stone towers above the Val d'Elsa, surrounded by vineyards that make Vernaccia, Italy's first DOC white wine. The skyline reads as medieval Manhattan to most visitors who arrive from the Siena road, a silhouette that should have fallen and didn't. The town held seventy-two towers in 1300; what's left has held its place for seven centuries. UNESCO inscribed the historic centre in 1990. The afternoon light moves slowly across the stone, the way light only moves in places that have stopped changing. People come on day trips from Florence. The towers wait.

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