Twenty-two arches once, then a flood in 1668. Now four arches reach from the Avignon bank into the Rhône, and stop. The Chapelle Saint-Nicolas sits on the second pier, named for the patron saint of bargemen who used to work this stretch of river. Children across France still sing Sur le pont d'Avignon. The verses became popular long after the river had taken most of the bridge. Across the water the Palais des Papes holds the bank. The Rhône keeps moving.

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