Phare du Creac'h
$22.00
The far western edge of Ouessant, the last island off Finistère before the open Atlantic. The tower has been striped black and white since 1863. Two white flashes every ten seconds, visible nearly forty nautical miles out. Ships entering the English Channel from the Atlantic turn toward it. The headland is constant wind and short grass. Little stone-walled hamlets sit a kilometer inland, sheep among them, and the foghorn carries across the moor when the weather closes in. Most of the year, the weather is closing in.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
