Springburn

Mats and islands of dried grasses,
The remains of last year’s growth,
In the receding snow.

A cleansing burn reduces the tangle to ash
And clears the way for an abundance of new growth.

Humans, anticipating the cycle,
Urge along inevitable progress of the season.

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.
