About

Sharon Walters is a London-based artist and project curator whose series entitled ‘Seeing Ourselves', is an exploration of identity, beauty standards, and race through intricate paper cut outs and hand-assembled collages.       


Since graduating with a degree in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts) in 2011, Sharon has developed her practice and continued her work with community arts organisations, galleries and museums, using them as platforms to explore and collaborate with voices of those who are often excluded and unheard.

           

So often blackness is referred to as 'other'. Sharon provokes an alternative narrative centred on empowerment. Each piece is a reaffirmation of the right to 'take up space', even when you don't see yourself reflected back. A need to create our own spaces is an important part of Sharon's practice.

                                                 

Each carefully constructed collage features a black person. Sharon's unique approach extends through to her talks, podcast series, events and project curation. This body of work explores representation in many arenas including arts, heritage and the media.
