Mount

A conical quartzite peak above Clew Bay, west of Westport in County Mayo. Locally called the Reek. People walk it barefoot on the last Sunday in July, tens of thousands of them, in an old tradition that reaches back through Saint Patrick to Lughnasadh before him. The path turns white and loose near the top, and a small whitewashed chapel waits at the summit. From up there, the bay reads as a pattern of small green islands. On a clear day the Twelve Bens are visible to the south, in Connemara.

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