Mount

Two stone arches over the Hérault, where the gorge widens and the limestone goes pale. Benedictine monks from Aniane and Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert built it in the early eleventh century, among the oldest medieval bridges in France. The pilgrim road from Arles to Santiago de Compostela crosses here, and has for nearly a thousand years. The river underneath stays green most of the year, the colour of bottle glass held to light. Locals swim from the rocks below in summer. The bridge takes no notice.

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