tim hawkinson

While browsing through the modern art collection in the fine arts library a few months ago I picked up a book that had an interesting cover. The artwork in the book fascinated me and captured my attention instantly. Tim Hawkinson's pieces are wonderful and delightfuly strange, and sometimes downright gross. He made a baby chick skeleton completely out of fingernail clippings. I love being intrigued by a work and being surprised by the materials used to produce it (i.e. Warhol's Oxidation Paintings). Tim Hawkinson does just that.
