Mount

A wall of limestone the shape of a half-moon, three kilometres across at the rim and 1,500 metres tall above the meadow floor. The village of Gavarnie sits below; the walk in takes about an hour, a wide path along the Gave de Pau. From the meadow at the base, the wall does the thing walls aren't supposed to do: it curves around you. Victor Hugo called it Nature's Colosseum. The waterfall down the back face is fed by snow on the Spanish side; in late summer it threads down four hundred metres of stone. Nobody walks away quiet for the wrong reason.

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