Tim Hawkinson — Study for Veil
Tim Hawkinson

Study for Veil

A meticulously constructed photo collage, Tim Hawkinson's *Study for Veil* layers fragmented photographic imagery onto urethane foam and wood panel, creating a textured, skin-like surface that blurs the boundary between the bodily and the abstract. The work reflects Hawkinson's ongoing fascination with mapping and replicating the human form through unconventional materials and processes. The interplay of photographic detail and sculptural dimensionality invites viewers to reconsider how identity and physicality can be encoded in surface and material.
