Mount

Bernini's colonnade opens like two arms around an oval of pale stone. At the centre, an Egyptian obelisk that watched Caligula's chariots in 37 AD waits between two fountains for a blessing or a funeral. The square fills with the kind of silence only a vast open space can hold, then breaks with the bells, then fills again. On most Wednesdays the chairs come out and the square becomes a parish meeting for the world. By evening the colonnade is mostly shadow and the obelisk casts a line clear across the stones.

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