The tower has stood since the twelfth century on a headland above the village. One of the last round towers built in Ireland. By then the form was already old, already passing, but the masons who built this one knew what they were doing. Thirty metres of stone tapered to a point, the entrance door set four and a half metres above the ground so raiders couldn't reach it. The monks kept their books and their bells here. The Atlantic weather has worked at it for eight hundred years and the silhouette is still the silhouette.

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