Mount

The chapel inside the Apostolic Palace, where the College of Cardinals comes to elect a pope. Forty metres long, thirteen wide, the dimensions the Old Testament gives for the Temple of Solomon. The side walls were painted first, in 1481, by Botticelli, Perugino and Ghirlandaio. Then a young sculptor named Michelangelo was pulled off his marble to do the ceiling, and four years later the centre panel was the moment between two hands. The custodians ask for silence. Most people forget to look down at the Cosmatesque floor, older than the paintings above it.

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