Standardization and commercialization
lurk everywhere on my globe,
but even standard, commercial stuff
leaves its unique traces;
an altermodern footprint,
wherever it goes.
Everywhere I go in the
physical or the digital world,
I too leave traces.
I may not leave comments on
every bit of information that I view,
but that bit has been altered
just by the fact that I have
consciously or unconsciously observed it.
I am never really certain
what those traces might be,
what they might look like, or
where exactly they have been left.

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.
