Hawkinson’s main works are known fro being very complex systems through simple means. Tim’s used materials usually come from random household items and industrials items. Tim uses these to create sound, breath or record the passage of time. All of his art forms are associated with meaning and the process of art. He also enjoys using his body for the main focal point as long as the source. Some of his particular works involve a mechanical system that is arranged to solve a certain problem or help play out an idea.
“Pente cost” made in 1999 and created out of polyurethane, foam, sonotubes, and using mechanical components. Hawkinson explains to everyone that this work was acquired from a previous work he had completed. While making this he sat himself in a bath while he would slowly fill up the tub with black paint. During this time a photographer would take pictures every ten seconds. This was a technique he used to create contour casts of his body. Hawkinson explains that his idea came from the historical Jewish Holiday. On the Holiday 12 apostles of Christ, which received the Holy Spirit.
