Boyle Abbey
$22.00
A Cistercian house on the river that runs out of Lough Key. Founded in 1161, consecrated in 1218. The build took so long that the nave's arches start round and end pointed, the Romanesque slowly turning Gothic the further west you stand. The roof has been gone since the Elizabethans built a barracks into the walls in 1592. What stays is the long line of arcades, the cockerel carved at the top of one capital, and the river still running past.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
