‘Deirdre’s practice, which is rooted in oil on canvas and wood, takes its inspiration from the earth itself, a place of growth, renewal, and deep resilience. But what we encounter here is not a sentimental return to nature. Instead, these works remind us that to live in the world today is to live amid fracture and collapse, where human ambition collides with the quiet persistence of the natural world.’
