Dark Hedges
$22.00
A short stretch of country road in County Antrim, planted in beech by the Stuart family around 1775 to dress up the approach to Gracehill House. Two and a half centuries later, the trees have leaned across until their branches meet overhead and the road reads like an aisle. About ninety of the original hundred and fifty remain. The rest fell to storms or age. The light works best in soft grey weather, when a low sun catches the bark and the canopy holds it. Bregagh Road is closed to cars now. People walk it.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
