Mount

A mountain in south Armagh, ringed by thirteen smaller hills called the Ring of Gullion. The whole formation is the weathered remains of a volcano that erupted roughly sixty million years ago. On the summit sits a Neolithic cairn older than the pyramids, with a chamber the winter solstice sunset still finds. Beside the cairn, a small dark lake. The old name is Calliagh Berra's Lough, after the witch who, in the story, bathed Fionn mac Cumhaill until his hair went grey. The drive around the ring is eight miles, low gear, slow.

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