Mount

A granite outcrop rising from tidal flats on the Normandy-Brittany border, the abbey at the summit, the spire fitted with a gilded Michael that has read the wind since 1897. The bay carries some of the largest tides in continental Europe, close to fifteen vertical metres at the spring equinox, water that crosses the sand at walking pace and turns the Mont back into an island. From the new footbridge at low tide the silt holds the light like beaten pewter. Sheep graze the pré-salé marshes at the edge. Most coaches arrive by mid-morning. The hour worth coming for is earlier than that.

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