Tim Hawkinson



Time Hawkinson is a sculptural artist from San Fransisco California. He is best know for pieces like "Bear" and "emoter". Many of his pieces include themes from his own body. However, this being said, his work is not self portrait in the traditional style. Many of his pieces are mechanized and often include some kind of sound or device that asks the viewer to engage with the piece. This characteristic of his art makes it unique and interesting. Rather then having the viewer just look at the piece he is asking them to use other sense. He is asking them to experience the piece rather then observe it.
