Exuberant Delight in Found Materials and Critical Stitchery on Java Canvas and Wood Panel
62x32 inches, Ovoid
A rectangle diminished?
To focus or to fragment?
Aiming at the scale of a full length mirror
(which always seems to cut off my head or my feet);
the ovoid view embraces its subject,
or curtails?

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.
