HackelBury Fine Art, London is pleased to present Sharon Walter’s first London solo exhibition. ‘Seeing Ourselves’ features work from the ongoing series, in which Walters creates intricate hand-assembled collages honouring Black Women – their history, culture and identity.

“My work aims to explore and indulge in the multiplicity of Blackness and the embrace of our non-monolithic experiences.”

Walters explores themes of identity and representation through fragile and detailed paper cut-outs and collages where she creates multi-layered portraits in which she, literally and metaphorically, opens up space. These dimensional portraits provide a portal and empower those who are often excluded and unheard in mainstream Western society. She creates an alternative narrative which reflects the complexity of these women’s stories and experiences.
