Mount

A black-and-white tower at the far end of a long, low island, about eight kilometres west of Pointe du Raz. The Île de Sein lies almost at sea level, six metres at its highest natural point, and the great storms have flooded its lanes more than once. West of the lighthouse, the Chaussée de Sein reef runs out into open Atlantic, the kind of water that asks for a tall lamp. The current tower was rebuilt in 1951, after the war took the first one. It still stands there, in the same striped pattern, in the same wind.

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