Mount

The island Venice came from. The cathedral was founded in 639, when refugees from Altinum fled the mainland and built on the lagoon's flatlands. At its peak Torcello held twenty thousand people; today fewer than twenty live here. What remains is the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta with its gold-ground mosaics, the brick campanile, a single canal, and the lagoon water that comes up to the path. The vaporetto from Fondamente Nove takes forty-five minutes. The dominant sounds are wind through cypress and the call of lagoon birds.

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