Sharpie Al
Charlotte Alice Overton-Hart, or just Sharpie Al.
Champion of ageing and the old, and the experience and wisdom of older people, inspired by my 92-year-old gran, Nancy.
People are my favourite vintage. Amazing greys.

I recently discovered the work of Peter Baynton at a workshop about Nutrition & Food Environments of Older Adults run by New Dynamics of Ageing. In addition to his fresh and non-patronising design for Hospital Foodie, a food and nutrition management system intended to be used in hospitals to help combat malnutrition, Peter has made some truly excellent animations about older people, of which Over The Hill is one. A powerful tale against institutional abuse, without exception I would recommend Over The Hill to everyone who works in health and social care. It’s the Belleville Rendez-Vous meets Panorama of the care sector. You’ll see what I mean.
