An exhibition of new work by art/design duo Quiet British Accent, which explores the hero/fan relationship through a visual filter of football paraphernalia. The work includes textile art on football shirts, graphic prints and trading cards.
Sharon is one half of the artist duo called Quiet British Accent, known for their #pennydrops, hand painted pre-decimal pennies left stuck to walls. Ephemeral and democratic, their pennies feature contemporary messages on Victorian coins and are placed in the environment, offering a sometimes thought-provoking (sometimes not), intimate interaction for the passer-by. Each penny is documented in its location with a photograph which becomes part of the artwork. Sharon is also an artist educator with experience running art workshops in galleries and schools; working with Social Prescribers to bring ‘art for wellbeing’ projects to her local community. She is a resource contributor for AccessArt, a visual arts teaching and learning charity. For over nine years, Sharon ran a successful art club for primary school-aged students in Hertfordshire, before she re-located to North Devon in 2020.
