Cavernous interior cathedral spaces as in the cathedral at Eu.
Vague industrial intrusions into the landscape as in the bridge across the Thames at Maidenhead and minute architectural details of a draughtsman's early career share and compete for space.
Competing images that attempt to measure, span, construct and rationalize every inch of their “known” universe. This work, ExKathedra, is a compilation that has been informed by the works of the Turner Project Series.

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.
