Mount

The widest reach of the Shannon in the midlands. The river emerges from Lough Ree and slips under the Town Bridge at Athlone, the Norman castle leaning over from the west bank. Sean's Bar pours a pint just behind the castle, a room that has been pouring for a thousand years. The current is slow here, slow enough that the painted barges drift more than they steer, and the swans don't bother to move out of the way. Downstream, the river runs on toward Clonmacnoise.

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