A villa on the northwestern edge of Pompeii, outside the old Herculaneum Gate. The Initiation Room is what people come for. Twenty-nine life-sized figures on a wall of dense, deep red, painted before the eruption that buried the city in AD 79. The rite they are caught in has never been fully read. The room kept its colour because the ash kept its air out. It is the longest walk in the park, and most groups turn back before they reach it.

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