"You are a challenging upright thing,
as sudden as a exclamation mark,
as enigmatic as a question mark."
Look at this good woman in this landscape
A soul not shrinking,
not lost in mystifying clouds of the feminine.
A capable body,
not for anyone's use but her own.
A truth-telling in the return of your gaze.
as sudden as a exclamation mark,
as enigmatic as a question mark."

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.
