Mount

A limestone notch in the cliffs south of Marseille, with a beach at the end of it and a small village of cabanons that has held the same shoreline since the 1890s. The water reads turquoise because seagrass beds and a pale limestone bottom return so much light. In summer the road in is barred from seven in the morning until seven at night, mostly for fire risk, and the cove fills with people who walked the col on foot. Fishing boats come and go from a dock that has worked since the fourteenth century. Nobody hurries here.

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