Mount

A high village at the head of the Tarentaise Valley, where the Isère river begins as a trickle below the Pointe des Lessières. The road keeps climbing past it, up to the Col de l'Iseran at 2,770 metres, one of the highest paved passes in the Alps. In winter the village sits inside the ski domain it shares with neighbouring Tignes; in summer the road opens and cyclists arrive in waves. The baroque church of Saint-Bernard-de-Menthon has been standing in the centre since the 1660s, the saint of mountain travellers, in a place that asks for one.

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