SURFACING
By Sharon W. Huget

​ Surfacing.
Of Being.
Suspended. 
Vulnerable. Resilient.
Evolving. Emerging. Origins.
Beyond.
Being.

At times, for me, the experience of painting is an attempt to visually articulate what is intuited but not fully grasped. Painting not what I know, but rather what is unknown.

​ In this exhibit, “Surfacing”, I invite you to be suspended for a moment in visual narratives beyond words.

Cerulean Emergence I, II, II is a visual exploration of the inner world. The place where I reside in what is both a familiar and unfamiliar interior landscape. A held space for presence. Who am I and who am I becoming? 

These are the ageless ponderings that linger, unresolved and suspended.  It is a kind of emergence – already fully present and yet still evolving. Using colour and texture to express openness and vulnerability, the images that emerge invite the viewer to explore inner truths.

​​​Referencing elements of antiquity, my work continues to allude to how artifacts and architecture are touchstones to history and distant memories.

Semi abstract forms and loose architectural renderings suggest a portal between time ​and space.​ Using mixed drawing, graphite and acrylic paint media, the visual narratives  express a sense of vulnerability juxtaposed with immutable permanence.

​ Ancient columns and incomplete arches suggest that something of the human experience remains regardless of whether it remains to be remembered or forgotten.
