Mount

The town sits at the head of the Valtournenche, two thousand metres up, and the Matterhorn rises above it like a wall. From the Italian side the mountain looks broader and less pointed than the postcard from Zermatt. A south face, the Lion Ridge curving down from the summit. The climbers of the village reached the top three days after the Swiss did, in 1865, by that same ridge. Skiers come for the glacier at Plateau Rosa, which holds snow into August. The light hits the south face early; by mid-morning the rock has gone the colour of an old coin.

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