Sharon Haward is based in Hastings and has been influenced by her immediate surroundings, specifically areas of urban regeneration and a range of historically significant buildings. These places and spaces have inspired Haward to create site-specific installations, interventions and open ended experimental work using found materials, photography and video. Haward's work evolves from a synthesis of history, memory of place, transient occupancy and a more abstract response to the physicality of the space.
