The keep on the south side of the entrance to La Rochelle's old harbour. Built on oak piles driven into Atlantic mud in the 14th century, the tower sank as it rose, leaning northeast, finding plumb again above the second floor. For three hundred years a chain ran from its base across the water to the Tour de la Chaîne, closing the port at night. The chain is gone. The lean is not. Stone the colour of old butter, six centuries of light moving across it, the salt wind doing what salt wind does.

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