TIM HAWKINSON

This work by Tim Hawkinson is called Sweet Tweet. Not all of his works are as innocent and as whimsical as this piece however. A small "Bird" looks fascinating until you realize it is made from finger nail pairings. Eeww! Very clever though.

The man has quite a variety of work, and I find his choice of materials intriguing. Thanks for introducing him to me!

For all you "Down Undies" I just found this at a site called Daily Serving, under Mixed Media.

Tim Hawkinson's first Australian exhibition "Mapping the Marvellous," is currently on show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. In addition to photo collages and drawings, The Los Angeles based artist is best known for creating theatrical sculptural and installation works through the use of mundane materials. Works on display include a bat constructed from plastic bags and an iris made of green biros. Hawkinson initially graduated from San Jose State University before later earning his MFA at the University of California. Exhibitions in which he has previously displayed his work include the 1999 Venice Biennale, "Zoopsia" - a solo exhibition at the Getty in Los Angeles and "How Man is Knit" at the Pace Wildenstein, New York earlier this year.
