-Deirdre Hawthorne makes one-off sculptural vessels, made of paper-thin earthenware and porcelain.
“My imagery and voice are rooted in the Irish landscape, in specific places that hold a charge for me - shores, townlands, houses and gardens and city streets.
The forms of the vessels are simple but the clay is deeply marked by rolling in plants or fabric, imprinting slip or by piercing with pins, sticks and staples.”
She has exhibited at Galerie Besson and Barrett Marsden London and in galleries throughout the UK. Her work has been shown at SOFA New York and Chicago and is owned by private collectors in the UK, US and Europe.
Deirdre, alongside Martin Donnelly, will be leading a discussion on the creative arts entitle 'Landscapes of the Interior' at Flowerfield Arts Centre on 18th August.
