The parterres of Versailles. Geometry cut into the field west of the palace; boxwood pressed into embroidery patterns the eye reads as fabric. Two long mirror pools hold the sky on the upper terrace, edged by bronze rivers cast by the Keller brothers. Below them, the Latona basin steps down toward the canal in a line André Le Nôtre held to for forty years. The crushed gravel between the hedges turns the colour of pale flour in summer light. On the days the fountains run, the water joins the geometry. The rest of the year it is a quiet shape above the canal, with Paris somewhere beyond it.

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