Westwind: Westwind
2013
Oil and Encaustic on Oak Panel

Yup, its pretty much blown away.
The Island/Westwind pairing
speaks of a prevailing wind;
and not necessarily meaning
an air movement
in a specific direction.
This landscape speaks,
not of a place but a time;
of global uncertainty,
questioning previously unshakeable ground
that we once thought we stood upon,
when we stood upon the earth.

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.
