Cut, Gutter, Section, 2026
Private View 4 April, 2-5pm
Open daily 5 April - 4 May 2026
An exhibition at Threshold Sculpture, Leeds
Sharples is interested in methods of cutting, sectioning and inversion to dissect space, foregrounding structural relationships between anatomies and architectures. For Threshold, she presents a series of thin timber structures that are cladded – part façade part ‘skeleton’ – with seams and supports purposefully exposed allowing planes and frames, interior and exterior, and the spatial constructs of flatness and volume to meet.

From skin to land, from walls to worlds, 2025
An exhibition curated by Victoria Sharples at GLOAM
From skin to land, from walls to worlds is a solo exhibition by Rebecca Halliwell-Sutton, responding to the light and architectural space of GLOAM. Halliwell-Sutton’s practice spans sculpture, photography, and text, harnessing the transformative properties of material, language, and light. Made from aluminium and silver gelatin liquid, her sculptures and photographs hover between object and image – something both three-dimensional and flat. The surfaces of her work are often reflective, dented, broken, and shattered; this vulnerability invites us to consider what lies beneath. In this darkness lies an allusion to violence, extraction, and alchemic processes. In photography, light transforms into darkness, and the materials used – such as silver gelatin – are extracted violently from the earth (silver) and the body (gelatin). Through analogue darkroom processes and forging, Halliwell-Sutton has fabricated a series of ‘developing’ and developed image-objects, investigating material change – both chemical and poetic.
