Sharon Dimond
Sharon Dimonds work has previously been exhibited in a number of galleries, including Keele University where she won Student Prize in the open photography exhibition. Her work was also shown in the “Hear Through Eyes” exhibition, held at the Deaf Centre in Stoke-on-Trent that was set up by herself and two other students from the Deaf community. She created a centre sculpture piece that was influenced by the Deaf community theme, to fit the exhibition.

Artist Statement:
“I am currently undertaking roles including; glass artist, designer and maker. My work is influenced by knowledge and experience obtained by affiliation with the Deaf community.
This therefore, has ignited my interest in the movement of certain aspects of the body when sign language is used to engage in conversation, particularly the facial expressions, and hand shapes.
My decorative and sculptural wall pieces aim to evoke a reaction from the public and enlighten them by providing a means for them to gain an understanding of the deaf community.
My imagery focuses on the hands and face, especially the gestures used to show emotions when conversing within the deaf community. I use kiln forming processes to create hand forms, using colour and texture to show the emotion and movement of the hands.”
