Mount

A flat-topped mountain in northwest Ireland that rises from the County Sligo plain without anything to lean against. The west face is grooved like organ pipes. Water and ice have been working at the limestone for ten thousand years. W.B. Yeats is buried at its foot, in Drumcliffe churchyard, by his own request. From the N15 the long ridge holds the horizon for most of the drive north. On a grey day the rain runs in the grooves and the whole mountain seems to be moving.

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