Deirdre Burke

I am a painter and printmaker . my work tends to revolve around fractured states either in memory or real time situations , bringing the viewer through a visual dialogue in a parodic, playful, satiric and challenging manner.
I work with a wide range of materials, and lean heavily on eco friendly practice, using non toxic inks and handmade papers. my focus in the last three years has been on eco political situations . in my multi disciplinary work I try to bring an awareness to habitats and the functionality of natural structures which are mostly hidden in plain sight.

received first class honours degree in fine art printmaking at the college of Marketing and design under the tutelage of Michael Kane, Joe Hanley and Alice Hanratty
