Mount

A natural cave in a limestone outcrop on the bank of the Gave de Pau, at Lourdes in the French Pyrenees. The spring inside has been running since 1858, when a fourteen-year-old girl named Bernadette Soubirous dug for it with her hands. Pilgrims come from every continent, more than four million in a good year. The basilicas above were built afterward; the grotto stays the way it was, low and dim and full of candles. People queue along the rock face to touch the wall. Nobody talks much.

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