Two yellow gantry cranes above the Lagan in east Belfast, on Queen's Island where ships were built for more than a century. Locals call them Samson and Goliath; they have been on the skyline since the 1970s, scheduled as protected monuments by 1995. Goliath went up first. Samson followed five years later, taller by ten metres. The shipyard around them has gone quiet for long stretches and roared back to life in shorter ones. The cranes stay. Children growing up in east Belfast learn to find their way home by them.

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