Verity,
humans float upon an oil-on-paper sketch
set apart from the world
of wood and tapestry and woven canvas
that they inhabit
Human mediation:
does it provide
an open invitation into the
solid, opulent, woven world
that can be sensed?
Or does it guard and gate-keep
A barrier between the world is sensed
and the world that is understood?

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.
