A storm approaches,
Foreboding shadows lengthen, stretching that line
The one between needed precipitation and destruction
However, the alternative is dust.
From the ReSourced Series - In the ReSourced Series, I was thinking of an energy, massive but contained. An energy unlocked, like a tricky puzzle. Wrangled, not fully tamed but not completely unleashed.

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.
