Deirdre Breen is a printmaker based in Cork. Breen works in large scale screen prints characterised by flat abstract motifs and geometric compositions. Her work explores the boundaries of perceived distinctions between art and design through studies in colour and form.

Deirdre has collaborated with Ceadogán on four rugs as part of the collection ‘Ripple Effect’, inspired by the beauty and infinite wonder of the circle.

From a full moon in the night sky, to the shape of the human eye. For centuries the circle and its continuity has lured artists to explore every aspect of its significance — in both concept and form. The purest universal symbol, without beginning or end, this self-contained shape is central to our relationship with the world.This rug collection sets out to explore and express the most perfect of creative forms.
