Strokestown Park
$22.00
A Palladian house at the end of a quiet avenue in County Roscommon, the kind of front that looks small from the road and grows as you approach. Inside, the National Famine Museum keeps about 50,000 documents from the famine years, the closest thing Ireland has to a private letter from the Hunger. The walled garden behind the house holds one of the longest herbaceous borders in Ireland. A 165-kilometre walking route begins at the front gate and ends at Dublin's quays. Quietly kept. Both house and memory.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
