ARTIST STATEMENT
Annie Hogg is a visual artist based in Tipperary, Ireland. She works with pigments foraged from all elements of the landscape, often charring found objects from the natural world as a votive action to create paint, ink and sculptures. Throughout her practice she utilises plants, soils and stones, shells and found bones. The materiality of these pigment sources is of great importance within the subsequent work.
After graduating in 2002 with a BA in sculpture form Aki College of Art in The Netherlands, she worked and lived on environmental protest camps and learned organic horticulture. Returning to a creative practice in recent yeras has allowed for these experiences to be woven into the practice, where themes such as solastalgia, ecopsychology, folklore and acts of transformation are explored.
Awards and support have been received from Arts Council of Ireland, Tipperary County Council Arts Office, South Tipp Arts Centre and Irish Hospice Foundation.
