Title: Plaything: Veil // Artist: Sarah Graves & Christine Hogg
about the piece
| Plaything: Veil watercolor, ink on paper 12.75 x 8.5 in. 2025 Nova you are, near distant, of what measures we sense. Crevices spiral bring us interweaving. Like an angler, you mesmerize with your light prismatic of what we want to see until after we’ve realized we’re trapped and dizzied. Dazed in our demise. Or at ease end, stretching into the next. Specimen, predator or kin, emitting frequencies behind our eyes. Alien yet familiar, scale undetermined, trajectory of arc supreme. |
about the artist // Sarah Graves
| Originally from the Delta and now based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Sarah blends her scientific background with a more intuitive and emotional way of seeing the world. She discovered watercolor while navigating the challenges of a demanding work environment, where painting became both a refuge and a quiet rebellion—space to breathe, release, and experiment. Her work reflects the energy and freedom she finds in wild spaces, whether swimming, mountain biking, or simply pausing in stillness. Water, especially, has always drawn her—carrying a sense of lightness and flow that continues to shape her style. Through her work, she invites others into that same sense of release that creating art gives her. |
about the artist // Christine Hogg
| Christine is an artist and designer based in Fort Collins and is an Arkansas native. Through experiences in the arts, travel, language learning, and a career in education, she developed a commitment to creating spaces for open dialogue and honest communication. Art is a means for her to confront and process experiences and to document nuance. She shares her stories to contribute to conversations about (re)humanization, vulnerability, and reconnection and creates spaces where others can share their own. |
