Carved in Stone
While notions of the natural orders
that underpin our existence
shift and change,
our world goes on unperturbed;
gravity works,
the sun rises, and
humans evolve and adapt.
Supporting structures
against overlying colour and form,
simultaneously reinforcing and
subverting each other

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.
