Aiguille d'Etretat
$22.00
A chalk needle standing alone in the Channel, just off the foot of the Porte d'Aval arch on the Normandy coast. Monet painted it more than a dozen times from the cliffs above, in fog, in late sun, in winter green. The needle is about seventy metres tall and the sea between it and the cliff is the milk-green of suspended chalk. Locals walk the cliff top at low tide, when you can read the line of the arch from above, and the needle looks as if it has just stepped away from the wall.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
