Mount

At the top of Mont-Saint-Michel, above the great vaulted halls of La Merveille, a small rectangular cloister opens onto the sky. Two staggered rows of slender columns ring a garden the Benedictines kept for walking and reading. The west gallery was meant to give onto a fourth wing of La Merveille that the abbey never built; instead the open arches look out over the bay. The cloister was finished around 1228, under Abbot Raoul des Îles. Gulls come through. Below it, the tide moves.

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