One Warm Line
severs the image and serves to slam
romantic landscape directly into 21st century concerns.
A single warm track of human activity
traces the frailty, audacity, or even the threat
of a persistent human presence in a land
that with equal persistence
remains so wide and savage and untamable.

Sharon Hogg is a visual artist working in Calgary Alberta and Lombardy Ontario, Canada. She holds a Bachelors of Fine Art and a Masters of Fine Art from the Alberta College of Art and Design.
Where humans intersect with unseen natural forces, she imagines what lies behind or beneath the surface. More than seeing, she wants to feel the backstory, the understory, the glue that holds it all together. Her work seeks to bring that underlying level of awareness closer to the visible and the touchable.
The Sublime, New Materialism and the Vorticists are influences.
