A Cistercian abbey in a small valley north of Gordes, founded in 1148 and still kept by a small community of monks. What draws cameras now is the lavender, neat rows planted in front of the church and harvested each summer for the oil the brothers distil. The peak of the colour is the first two weeks of July. The monks ask, quietly, that the rows not be walked into. The bells still keep the canonical hours. Some of the photographers wait for them.

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