Trinity College Dublin
$22.00
The Long Room of the Old Library, a hall of warm oak and vaulted shadow above a college Elizabeth I chartered in 1592. The Book of Kells lives in the room below: four Gospels copied around the year 800. Upstairs the shelves go on. Fourteen marble heads watch the readers come and go. Swift, Plato, Cicero, Locke. The city outside is loud. The room is not.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
