Filters For a World Made of Steel
Simple dichotomies:
linen vs wool,
the wandering thread vs the grid
the solid impassible filter vs
the precariously open linen weave
the light blocker of the screen vs
the light reflector of the tapestry

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.
