In 'Seeing Ourselves' Sharon Walters creates intricate hand-assembled collages honouring Black women - their history, culture and identity.

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 centre 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.

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