WEBVTT 00:00:07.477 --> 00:00:12.416 [Tim Hawkinson: Family Resemblance] 00:00:17.416 --> 00:00:20.055 The first piece, as you walk into the space, 00:00:21.015 --> 00:00:24.477 is a railroad signal crossing lantern. 00:00:25.375 --> 00:00:27.700 We can unlock it and I can lower it for you. 00:00:27.832 --> 00:00:29.540 [INTERVIEWER, OFF-SCREEN] Oh, okay! That would be very... 00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:30.277 [HAWKINSON] An action shot. 00:00:30.277 --> 00:00:31.510 [INTERVIEWER, OFF-SCREEN] Yes, please! 00:00:31.510 --> 00:00:32.815 [HAWKINSON] I'm going to get the key. 00:00:35.827 --> 00:00:37.078 Could we get the key? 00:00:38.161 --> 00:00:38.992 Okay, there we go. 00:00:40.139 --> 00:00:40.889 Yeah, so... 00:00:44.571 --> 00:00:47.340 It's a butt-head Fresnel lens, 00:00:48.836 --> 00:00:52.247 using the same body molds that I used in the seahorse 00:00:52.247 --> 00:00:55.140 and then in the lens-mobile. 00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:00.942 The title is "Double Dutch". 00:01:00.942 --> 00:01:04.679 All the pieces in the show take their titles from Girl Scout cookies, 00:01:04.877 --> 00:01:07.448 and some of the cookies are retired Girl Scout cookies. 00:01:07.448 --> 00:01:08.571 Some are more... 00:01:08.571 --> 00:01:10.943 ones we're maybe more familiar with, 00:01:10.943 --> 00:01:12.278 like Samoa. 00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:14.077 Kookaburra, I think. 00:01:14.417 --> 00:01:16.139 But there are no Thin Mints. 00:01:16.776 --> 00:01:18.972 Nothing quite worked as a Thin Mint. 00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:33.081 My daughter Clare is a Brownie. 00:01:34.330 --> 00:01:37.909 A couple of months ago, she was in the process of making sales, 00:01:37.909 --> 00:01:40.647 going door-to-door with her list of Thin Mints 00:01:40.647 --> 00:01:43.416 and Tagalongs, and all that. 00:01:44.278 --> 00:01:46.109 My favorite is Samoa. 00:01:47.616 --> 00:01:50.216 I won't stick my tongue out, I just had coffee. 00:01:50.846 --> 00:01:51.879 [LAUGHS] 00:01:52.277 --> 00:01:54.879 I suppose I was working on the bronze figure-- 00:01:55.402 --> 00:01:57.448 me with my tongue sticking out... 00:01:58.817 --> 00:02:02.804 The tongue sticking out had this very aggressive expression, 00:02:02.804 --> 00:02:06.016 like a Samoan war cry. 00:02:06.016 --> 00:02:08.543 I thought that would be a possible title, 00:02:08.646 --> 00:02:12.602 and then started looking at other Girl Scout cookie names 00:02:12.602 --> 00:02:14.278 as possibilities for other pieces, 00:02:14.278 --> 00:02:18.006 and some of them sort of fit almost like they were intentional. 00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:28.803 There are things in the show that I have made with Clare through time. 00:02:29.708 --> 00:02:31.941 She kind of has given me ideas. 00:02:32.172 --> 00:02:34.418 It's somebody now to bounce ideas off of, 00:02:34.418 --> 00:02:37.143 as well as to get this different perspective. 00:02:49.910 --> 00:02:52.448 She kind of appears in different guises. 00:02:52.448 --> 00:02:54.542 Maybe a little bit in the foot, 00:02:55.016 --> 00:03:01.083 which has a friendship ankle bracelet extension cord. 00:03:01.910 --> 00:03:06.817 I don't think that would be there if she weren't weaving me friendship bracelets 00:03:06.817 --> 00:03:08.816 and bracelets for her friends. 00:03:11.416 --> 00:03:12.939 That's Clare's bike. 00:03:13.416 --> 00:03:15.510 She learned to ride without training wheels. 00:03:15.677 --> 00:03:17.110 After she was no longer using it, 00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:19.909 I asked her permission to chop her bike up. 00:03:20.145 --> 00:03:20.678 [LAUGHS] 00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:24.172 She's kind of used to me coming up with these 00:03:24.172 --> 00:03:27.815 second lives for things lying around the house. 00:03:29.910 --> 00:03:35.141 The individual plates that a seahorse is composed of, 00:03:35.141 --> 00:03:36.878 they're called scoots. 00:03:37.343 --> 00:03:41.571 I wanted to use my different body impressions as all the scoots 00:03:41.571 --> 00:03:42.880 on the seahorse. 00:03:43.046 --> 00:03:45.571 So, down here are the fingers. 00:03:45.571 --> 00:03:47.141 Further up, thumbprints. 00:03:47.952 --> 00:03:50.169 The eyes are kind of bellybuttons. 00:03:51.742 --> 00:03:56.111 These kind of horn structures are my mouth 00:03:56.111 --> 00:03:57.848 just the forming of a kiss. 00:03:59.046 --> 00:04:03.015 You can kind of read body parts a little more clearly in the bubbles. 00:04:03.148 --> 00:04:06.141 You can see different skin textures. 00:04:06.772 --> 00:04:08.816 The largest one is my head-- 00:04:08.816 --> 00:04:12.171 two skull caps, fit together. 00:04:13.446 --> 00:04:15.615 The seahorse is made out of polyester resin-- 00:04:15.615 --> 00:04:19.171 the same material that I use to coat the animal piece, 00:04:19.171 --> 00:04:20.973 "Animal Treasures". 00:04:24.741 --> 00:04:26.016 It's a mobile. 00:04:26.909 --> 00:04:31.078 Each cub is balanced on the tooth of the next one. 00:04:33.169 --> 00:04:35.508 An infant's heart rate, within five seconds, 00:04:35.508 --> 00:04:40.247 will drop when it's being held by its mother or grandmother. 00:04:40.509 --> 00:04:44.816 There is this very, kind of, relaxed gesture there. 00:04:53.647 --> 00:04:56.448 This body of work is relating more to my family— 00:04:56.448 --> 00:04:57.972 specifically my parents. 00:04:57.972 --> 00:05:00.773 I mean, if you want to go personal for a moment, 00:05:00.773 --> 00:05:04.217 I can say that I just feel very torn being here 00:05:04.217 --> 00:05:07.677 because my mother is dying right now. 00:05:07.677 --> 00:05:10.141 You know, I reflected a lot on, 00:05:10.141 --> 00:05:12.575 you know, just the family relationship, 00:05:12.575 --> 00:05:14.143 and the embrace. 00:05:14.647 --> 00:05:17.016 So it has that kind of embrace, 00:05:17.016 --> 00:05:22.425 where each figure is placing its trust in the next generation up.
