Mount

A Norman keep on a rocky hilltop above Dundrum village, four miles north of Newcastle on the County Down coast. John de Courcy raised the first defences in the late twelfth century to command the way into Lecale; the great round donjon came up a generation later. The view from the top runs south across Dundrum Bay to the Mourne Mountains, with the long dunes of Murlough between. Parliamentarian soldiers pulled the place down in 1652. The wind off the Irish Sea has been moving through the empty windows ever since. The round donjon still holds its line against the bay.

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