Carole Hodgson's work has complex references to classical and modern culture, and to scale and material that tends to reorganize aesthetic categorization.
For example a Morandi still-life might be turned into a wall-mounted object in mixed media and appear as a distant ruin. Thus an intimate image is reconstituted as one of monumentality or verticality. This renders the still-life architectural. To look at the work is like viewing a building in dusk.
Her drawings also describe one thing in terms of another: landscape is made anthropomorphic. Hodgson's titles render the work crepuscular: Dusk, Dark Memory, Vertical Sky. The drawings brood.
