Kerry Sharpe’s work seeks to celebrate the mundane less celebrated landmarks of her surroundings; the vernacular everyday architecture of home, creating landmarks from the humdrum. Interpreting familiar scenes from a point of view. These studies began in the pandemic when lockdown meant we had to stay close to home – for Kerry this was the borough of Camden. This confinement started a new enthusiasm and appreciation for corners of the neighbourhood and further afield previously afforded a fleeting glance en-route elsewhere. Etching seemed the perfect medium to capture these manmade landmarks, before some are irrevocably altered or become obsolete due to age or planned redevelopment. In an age of constant need to update and change she felt a need to preserve the unique character and voice the quirky and familiar views can give. An art director by day, Kerry enjoys the autonomy and industrious nature of creating images through etching on metal and principally works with hard ground & aquatint. Printmaking provides an opportunity to craft with her hands compared to the digital world of her day job. Kerry has exhibited locally and won the 2023 Lowes Dickinson prize for printmaking.
