Mount

The village folds into a steep valley above the Dourdou river. A medieval pilgrim town of stone houses under lauze schist roofs. The Romanesque abbey church holds a tympanum of the Last Judgment carved around 1107, still bearing traces of its original paint. Pierre Soulages, born in nearby Rodez, designed the 104 windows that replaced the wartime ones, clear panes of his own glass formula that take in every shaft of southern light. The pilgrims arrive in the late afternoon, dust on their boots, and the village quiets around them.

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