Mount

A flat-topped limestone hill above Sligo Bay, crowned by a cairn the size of a small church. Tradition says it holds Queen Maeve, the warrior queen of Connacht, standing upright in her armour facing her old enemies in Ulster. Tradition also says each walker carries a stone up and adds it to the cairn. The pile has been growing in this way for five thousand years. The walk is short and steep. The wind at the top has worked on the place a long time. From the summit the view runs over most of Sligo, the Atlantic, and on a clear day the flat head of Ben Bulben to the north.

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