Days of Sun and Wind - sketch 2 for Optimist
2011
Silkscreen and Acrylic on Raw Canvas
12x18 inches
Shapes look
upward and outward
to a distance
Rock, cloud, sail, sea
Equal weight
Equal definition
Equal density
The process test?
White ink on white canvas;
can it hold its ground
against the raw canvas sail?
And pure gel tar texture
winds through
the foreground water
upward and outward
to a distance
Rock, cloud, sail, sea
Equal weight
Equal definition
Equal density
The process test?
White ink on white canvas;
can it hold its ground
against the raw canvas sail?
And pure gel tar texture
winds through
the foreground water
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.
