Mount

A Norman keep on the western bank of the Shannon, holding the ford that gave the town its name. The polygonal tower at its centre has been standing since the early 1200s. In 1691, the Williamite army threw twelve thousand cannonballs at it in ten days, and most of the keep stood through it. Athlone sits at the middle of the country, where Leinster crosses into Connacht, and the river slows enough to read the sky. The castle now keeps the river the way the river once kept the castle.

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