Mount

Two districts carved into the soft limestone above the Gravina ravine. Sasso Caveoso to the south, Sasso Barisano to the north, with the cathedral on the ridge between them. Some of the dwellings were occupied without interruption from the Paleolithic until the 1950s, one of the longest unbroken records of human settlement anywhere. The town emptied for a few decades, then came back. At dusk the whole hillside warms to the colour of a banked fire, lamp by lamp by lamp.

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