High Noon,
is a weighty but delicate balance;
a tipping-point with consequences.
The red canoe is woven carefully,
but not infallibly,
into a vessel for negotiating a world,
that can go from strong and serene
to capsized and soaked,
in the blink of an eye.
Texo Vitae Series - This series investigates the relationship between the way I sense, and the way that I come to understand direct experience. Whether conscious or no, there are specific things that I choose to notice in the first place and then I choose to either acknowledge or discard in the second place.
These choices are powerful representations of my own self-contained worldview. However, the way I assimilate this experience is far from self-contained; it has evolved in particular historical cultural contexts and scientific paradigms.

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.
