My Tangled Garden View - detasil twill and plain weave tapestry

Wool Silk Mohair Tapestry of Plain and Twill Weave, on Painted Warp with Found Windows
62x54 inches
The twill is the stuff
that looks like bluejeans weave.
The Plain weave is...
well the weave that looks plainer
(over/under, over/under...like that).
The different materials:
the indexing lines of raw linen,
the chunky lines of wool and
the fuzzy lines of mohair and silk
each obscure the painted warp
in a different way.

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.
