Mount

A Cistercian house in the valley of the Nore, south of Thomastown. The white monks who built it in 1180 are long gone; the cloister arcade is not. Saints, knights, ladies, and ecclesiastics still stand carved in the columns where the brothers once walked the daily round. The crossing tower came later, in the fifteenth century, set against the original Romanesque east end. Henry VIII closed the house in 1540. The stone has kept the rest. Best in late light, when the carved figures throw shadows across the garth and the limestone reads almost gold.

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