Mount

A passage tomb in the Boyne Valley, raised around 3200 BCE, older than the pyramids at Giza and older than Stonehenge. The mound is a quiet rise above the river, ringed by ninety-seven kerbstones whose spirals have held their lines for five thousand years. For about seventeen minutes around the winter solstice, sunrise threads through a small opening above the doorway and walks the length of the passage to the inner chamber. The rest of the year the chamber holds its dark. A lottery decides who is inside on the morning that matters.

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