Mount

The high pink sandstone fortress on a spur above the Alsace plain. The Hohenstaufens raised the first walls here in the twelfth century. The Swedes burned it in 1633, and it sat as a ruin for two hundred and sixty-seven years. Then Kaiser Wilhelm II had it rebuilt, between 1900 and 1908, by the architect Bodo Ebhardt. The roof is tiled in patterns. The hall is hung with halberds. On a clear day the keep looks east to the Black Forest. On the cleanest days of winter, south to the Alps. The pink stone holds the light differently than the limestone castles further west.

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