Days of Sun and Wind - Sketch 4 for Optimist
2011
Silkscreen and Acrylic on Bleached Linen
12x18 inches
Remembered sky
Ingrained through
much repeating.
While details
of the foreground
fade to white
The process test?
Lighter and lighter application
of the silkscreen inks
while progressing toward
the foreground.
Very thin crackle paste and water
emphasize the fuzziness
that appears when trying too hard
to examine the details
up too close.

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.
