At The Aotearoa Photobook Awards (2022) Sheryl’s first photobook, droplet, was judged the joint winner with “the judges commending her on the sleek, saturated and arresting imagery, as well as its dark humour.” The judges commented that droplet was “conceptually and politically brilliant”.
droplet, raises a necessary conversation in NZ society about sexual harassment in the corporate environment. It critiques the sexual harassment, with the aim of cleaning it up, and also symbolically articulates a counter narrative of empowerment.
droplet examines a case that came to light when several students, who were on internships at a top law firm, reported having been sexually assaulted by senior partners. Drawing from various media sources, Sheryl responded by photographing in a range of genres - still-life, botanicals, tableaux and cityscapes to create the linear narrative.
D-Photo magazine ran an article and photo spreads on droplet in an article titled ‘Little Drops of Water’ in which writer Camille Khouri claimed “the narrative was in equal parts meaningful and shocking.”
