Mount

The high plateau between Mont Ventoux and the Albion ridge holds one of the few places in Provence where fine lavender, the wild kind, still grows from seed. The plateau sits near 800 metres, cool enough that the bloom comes late and stays late, into the August festival on the fifteenth. The colour painted into the tile is the colour the field reaches in the last week of July, after weeks of heat have pulled the dye up out of every stem. Down the dirt tracks between rows, the air does something no greenhouse can copy. A sound under the surface, the bees working all of it at once.

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