The cartoons are simple.
In this case, the simpler, the better.
Tapestry looms can be ultra detailed,
produce images almost like a photocopier,
but only if they are coerced.
Weft beaten tight.
Warp stretched taught.

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.
