Sunday2PM Animal House - detail centre assemblage
2013
Wool Tapestry, Needle Felted Fleece, Patchwork of Over-Dyed Found Woolen Pieces mounted on Burlap and Canvas
96x48inches
Animal Hall is a felted, woolen construction;
a patchwork piece involving
different types of wool-based components.
Stand-alone tapestry pieces were combined
with needle-felted fleece and
an assemblage of over-dyed wool fabrics.
All were collaged
a rough loosely woven burlap base
which would allow the different wools
to move and shrink,
each in their own way.
After assembly
the entire piece was washing-machine felted
and then backed with 10 oz. canvas for support.

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.
