The oldest quarter of Strasbourg, where the river Ill splits into four channels and once ran the mills, the tanneries, and the fishermen's docks. The half-timbered houses date mostly from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, dark oak set into pale plaster, with steep roofs sloping toward the water so hides could be hung to dry. The whole Grande Île has been a UNESCO site since 1988. Most afternoons photographers gather on the Maison des Tanneurs footbridge for the same view they have come for since the cameras did. Nobody on the bridge says much.

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