Atlantic blanket bog rolls out west of Galway city, ringed by the Twelve Bens and broken by the bays of Roundstone and Killary. The land is the colour of strong tea and old silver: sphagnum moss, heather, bog cotton, dark pools that hold the sky. Roads narrow and turn. In June the cottongrass goes white in patches the size of a small field. Sheep walk where the turf has been cut. The wind off the Atlantic is constant enough that the trees, where they exist, lean inland. There are stretches where nothing moves but the light.

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