He studied figure sculpture and painting with sculptor Paolo Corisone at the Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy. Mr. Hawkins has been working exclusively with the figure for over 20 years. He currently teaches in the Department of Medical Ethics and Humanities at Northwestern University, as well as the Fire Arts Center of Chicago and the Evanston Art Center.
His classes stress the mastery of clay sculpture technique, structural human anatomy and proportion, internal steel and external armature construction, and the use of golden mean and harmonic symmetry in composition. The primary goal of the course being to strengthen each student's understanding of structural human anatomy, observation, and the beautiful synergy of organic structures. |

Small Heavy Objects
|
|
|
|
The Small Heavy Object series is both a design exercise and a study of form through sculpture. However while design is commonly preoccupied with Utility, and art with Meaning, my work attempts to create only Beauty without these common burdens. I work to make my artwork non-representational; it is not abstract because I don't wish for it to be an abstraction of any specific object, being or emotion.
I am unapologetic about the masters from whom I draw influence in my work- Brancusi, Moore, Noguchi, and Duckworth. I study their work, visit it as often as possible, and am continuously humbled by their mastery.
