Hogg is particularly well known for this approach, which invests glass with a dialogue between material and imagination and plays with the physical and symbolic properties of light and dark.
Hogg also uses the textures of ‘seedy’ glass, where small air bubbles are caught in the medium, and ‘reamy’ glass, where the surface is striated, to enhance the qualities of the selected material, to promote the contemplative intimacy of the scheme, and to reflect the depth and complexity of Newman’s character.
Douglas Hogg has applied a calculated light glaze of white enamel to Newman’s preaching robes to give the figure a sense of imbued light to be observed from either Oratory or quadrangle.

HOGG: Yes indeed, it is I'm afraid predictable and entirely foreseeable that public confidence would take a very severe blow as a result of this news, and I entirely understand that.
HOGG: It's a commercial decision, and of course I understand it as a commercial decision, but it's also important to repeat what McDonald's also said, which was that in their judgement British beef was safe, and that their decision was made for commercial reasons rather than scientific ones.
HOGG: Now, if you go into-if you're raising a different question which goes to the question of slaughter policy, then, you have a different problem because you've got the problem of the render of the slaugherhouse people, people who've been relying on this source of meat for this and that.

Mr Hogg, agriculture minister between 1995 and 1997, said a ban on beef from infected cows and certain beef offal had been introduced but slaughterhouses were not fully complying with the rules.

 Amazon.com: Books: The Shepherd's Calendar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Drawing from his experiences as a young shepherd in the 1790s, Hogg produces a convincing and very human picture of the dangers, the pleasures, and the tensions of the lives of the rural poor in Scotland in the years that followed the French Revolution.
The apparatus of any such work is of great value, but especially so in Hogg's case, as, with this book, we are getting for the first time in history, access to the stories as he actually wrote them, without the bowdlerising hand of editors.
Hogg's use of Scots has been analysed before now, but it might be well to end with a reference to this feature of his writing.

 1LOCKHART
Douglas Mack comments that what really grued Lockhart was the fact Hogg dared to explain to the reading public that Lady Scott needed large doses of opium to kill the pain of her terminal illness.
In addition, I would propose that in looking through the description of Hogg's introduction to Charlotte, it is clear that she is physically highly attractive, an opinion shared by Maria Edgeworth; but Lockhart will not have his mother portrayed by an uncouth shepherd as a sexually desirable women.
Therefore, although Douglas Mack is certainly correct in underlining Lockhart's objections to certain parts of Hogg's account, I think the dislike lies much deeper than that, and that anything Hogg would have written would have been rejected.

Officers from Scotland Yard saw the former junior Home Office minister Douglas Hogg to discuss what he knew about Mr Finucane, who was shot 14 times in front of his wife and children by Ulster Defence Association gunmen in 1989.
