Mount

A small cast-iron arch over the River Liffey, joining Bachelors Walk to the lane that opens into Temple Bar. Built in 1816 by an ironworks in Shropshire and the first iron bridge in Ireland. The nickname comes from the halfpenny toll Dubliners paid to cross it for over a century, until 1919. The lamps come on early in winter. Afternoon shadow falls across the quays by half past four. People pause on it for a photograph and then keep walking. The river underneath is dark and slow and goes out to the bay.

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