Ruin Welp - barebones
2012
Oil on Canvas
34x48 inches
How to picture a place, any place,
that is 1000 years removed from my present?
At one end of
the long steep valley
that contains Lake Zurich is
the wide open plain
of the city of Zurich.
At the other end are the Alps.
About a third of the way down the lake valley,
above the town of Kusnacht,
about 3km up the steep valley slope,
sits Ruin Welp.

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.
