Los Angels-based sculptor Tim Hawkinson is well known for his fictionalized self-portraits which he’s created out of a wide variety of unusual materials. His complex works have often been described as systems, webs of interconected parts that inply some form of function. Most include various components such as woven polyethylene, nylon net, plastic sheeting, cardboard, tubing, latex, and monofilament. Much of the work featured here is from the mid-1990s and can be found at the Ace Gallery in Los Angeles, California.
