Two islands off the south Wexford coast, about five kilometres out from Kilmore Quay. Great Saltee and Little Saltee are private. The Neale family has held them since the 1940s, and Great Saltee is open to day visitors when the boats from the harbour run. In May the cliffs fill with gannets, razorbills, guillemots, puffins. By August the chicks fledge and the colonies thin and the islands return to wind and grass. There is an obelisk on Great Saltee that calls itself the throne of a kingdom. The boatmen point it out and don't explain much.

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