Walls about a mile long, built between 1613 and 1618, the only completely intact city walls in Ireland. They have never been breached: not in the 105-day siege of 1689, not in centuries since. Today you walk them for free, the whole circuit in twenty minutes if you don't stop, an hour if you do. Below the parapet the Bogside spreads out, and the Foyle bends north towards the Atlantic. The city goes by two names. The walls have one shape, and have kept it.

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