Sharon's figures are often mythical, imaginary, impossible. But they have an authenticity that makes them recognizable, and very engaging.
Making these works involves so much that is accidental. The process is not completely predictable: glazes and the kiln can be capricious! Sharon must work with the random revelations and disasters that occur. Of course this brings uniqueness and individuality to the work.
Her figures have such self-possession and authority. They submit to our gaze without trying to hide themselves. They are unable, and unwilling to conceal the blemishes and scars that they have accrued, the essential wounds they carry. Their flaws become part of their beauty. They are burnt, blemished but dignified and stoic.
Sharon's work is rapidly growing in popularity and is widely collected. She lives and works near Telford.
