Birrer is a research based artist. The work confronts directly the dichotomy of modern life and earth life-across millennia, a meditation on natural earth processes. As a proponent of social change 'one mind-net at a time’ she has been involved with lifelong learning, facilitating courses in both photography and organic growing, as well as founding a farmers market cooperative and community gardens.Her personal work includes the gathering of millions of tree seeds and acorns to help secure the genetic bank of Ireland’s indigenous ancient forests. “ Sister, sister Hear my heart It's time to bring the family back Together we must remember earth We must remember what life is all about ” —J.Trudell.
