Days of Sun and Wind - Sketch 6 for Optimist
2011
Silkscreen and Acrylic on Raw Canvas
12x18 inches
How large can the raw canvas sail be,
budging the other shapes away,
before it engulfs and destroys,
the entire image.
The process test?
Overlapping newsprint stencils
Crashing into each other.
thin water based acrylic
covers fibre paste
sandpaper removes them.

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.
