Mount

A three-storey fortified manor on the eastern shore of Lough Gill, built in the early seventeenth century by Captain Robert Parke on the site of the O'Rourke tower he had been granted to occupy. Lough Gill is the lake of Yeats's 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree,' and the island itself sits a few kilometres west. The bawn encloses a courtyard that runs to the water; the roof timbers and floors were re-cut from native Irish oak during the long Office of Public Works restoration that finished in the 1990s. Most photographs are taken from the lakeshore, in the still half-hour after rain.

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