Living With Art; Chapter 1 part 2

                                         TIM HAWKINSON
Emoter

Hawkinson's work can be depicted as do-it-yourself experiemental projects. He uses creativity and unlikely materials to create emotion and generate expressions. I depict this piece as your mind and body are connected and work together to show that what is felt on the inside reflects the outside and vice versa.



                                        AUDREY FLACK
Wheel of Fortune

Flack's work is based on a knowing of tradition and her interpretations of them such as Wheel of Fortune.
The necklace, mirrors, powder, and lipstick are symbols of personal vanity. An hour glass, calendar page, and a guttering candle speak of time and it's passing while the tarot card evoke the roles of chance and fate.






The similarity between the two artists is that they both try to show the audience the means of physical appearance. They depict objects that have common association and then trust us to add up the evidence.
The difference between the two is that Flack connects tradition with the present, and Hawkinson uses simple objects to show us how they can affect our appearance.
