Two hundred and fifty square kilometres of limestone pavement in County Clare, west of the Shannon, south of Galway Bay. From the road the grey looks bare. In May spring gentian opens in the cracks, and Arctic and Mediterranean plants share the same metre of stone, which happens nowhere else like this. The Poulnabrone dolmen has stood on the pavement for nearly six thousand years. Edmund Ludlow, an officer under Cromwell, once called the Burren a country with no wood to hang a man, no water to drown him, no earth to bury him. They missed the garden.

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