The Mer de Glace is the largest glacier in France. From Montenvers, the small mountain hotel reached by the red rack railway out of Chamonix, the ice spreads below in a long grey-white river that moves about a centimetre an hour. The blue lives inside it, in the walls of the cave carved fresh each season near the glacier's tongue. Each year the stairs down to the ice get longer; the glacier has retreated more than two kilometres in a hundred years. People still come, in every season. Almost nobody talks on the platform at first.

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