1 00:00:07,477 --> 00:00:12,416 [Tim Hawkinson: Family Resemblance] 2 00:00:17,416 --> 00:00:20,055 The first piece, as you walk into the space, 3 00:00:21,015 --> 00:00:24,477 is a railroad signal crossing lantern. 4 00:00:25,375 --> 00:00:27,700 We can unlock it and I can lower it for you. 5 00:00:27,832 --> 00:00:29,540 [INTERVIEWER, OFF-SCREEN] Oh, okay! That would be very... 6 00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:30,277 [HAWKINSON] An action shot. 7 00:00:30,277 --> 00:00:31,510 [INTERVIEWER, OFF-SCREEN] Yes, please! 8 00:00:31,510 --> 00:00:32,815 [HAWKINSON] I'm going to get the key. 9 00:00:35,827 --> 00:00:37,078 Could we get the key? 10 00:00:38,161 --> 00:00:38,992 Okay, there we go. 11 00:00:40,139 --> 00:00:40,889 Yeah, so... 12 00:00:44,571 --> 00:00:47,340 It's a butt-head Fresnel lens, 13 00:00:48,836 --> 00:00:52,247 using the same body molds that I used in the seahorse 14 00:00:52,247 --> 00:00:55,140 and then in the lens-mobile. 15 00:00:59,219 --> 00:01:00,942 The title is "Double Dutch". 16 00:01:00,942 --> 00:01:04,679 All the pieces in the show take their titles from Girl Scout cookies, 17 00:01:04,877 --> 00:01:07,448 and some of the cookies are retired Girl Scout cookies. 18 00:01:07,448 --> 00:01:08,571 Some are more... 19 00:01:08,571 --> 00:01:10,943 ones we're maybe more familiar with, 20 00:01:10,943 --> 00:01:12,278 like Samoa. 21 00:01:13,110 --> 00:01:14,077 Kookaburra, I think. 22 00:01:14,417 --> 00:01:16,139 But there are no Thin Mints. 23 00:01:16,776 --> 00:01:18,972 Nothing quite worked as a Thin Mint. 24 00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:33,081 My daughter Clare is a Brownie. 25 00:01:34,330 --> 00:01:37,909 A couple of months ago, she was in the process of making sales, 26 00:01:37,909 --> 00:01:40,647 going door-to-door with her list of Thin Mints 27 00:01:40,647 --> 00:01:43,416 and Tagalongs, and all that. 28 00:01:44,278 --> 00:01:46,109 My favorite is Samoa. 29 00:01:47,616 --> 00:01:50,216 I won't stick my tongue out, I just had coffee. 30 00:01:50,846 --> 00:01:51,879 [LAUGHS] 31 00:01:52,277 --> 00:01:54,879 I suppose I was working on the bronze figure-- 32 00:01:55,402 --> 00:01:57,448 me with my tongue sticking out... 33 00:01:58,817 --> 00:02:02,804 The tongue sticking out had this very aggressive expression, 34 00:02:02,804 --> 00:02:06,016 like a Samoan war cry. 35 00:02:06,016 --> 00:02:08,543 I thought that would be a possible title, 36 00:02:08,646 --> 00:02:12,602 and then started looking at other Girl Scout cookie names 37 00:02:12,602 --> 00:02:14,278 as possibilities for other pieces, 38 00:02:14,278 --> 00:02:18,006 and some of them sort of fit almost like they were intentional. 39 00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:28,803 There are things in the show that I have made with Clare through time. 40 00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:31,941 She kind of has given me ideas. 41 00:02:32,172 --> 00:02:34,418 It's somebody now to bounce ideas off of, 42 00:02:34,418 --> 00:02:37,143 as well as to get this different perspective. 43 00:02:49,910 --> 00:02:52,448 She kind of appears in different guises. 44 00:02:52,448 --> 00:02:54,542 Maybe a little bit in the foot, 45 00:02:55,016 --> 00:03:01,083 which has a friendship ankle bracelet extension cord. 46 00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:06,817 I don't think that would be there if she weren't weaving me friendship bracelets 47 00:03:06,817 --> 00:03:08,816 and bracelets for her friends. 48 00:03:11,416 --> 00:03:12,939 That's Clare's bike. 49 00:03:13,416 --> 00:03:15,510 She learned to ride without training wheels. 50 00:03:15,677 --> 00:03:17,110 After she was no longer using it, 51 00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:19,909 I asked her permission to chop her bike up. 52 00:03:20,145 --> 00:03:20,678 [LAUGHS] 53 00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:24,172 She's kind of used to me coming up with these 54 00:03:24,172 --> 00:03:27,815 second lives for things lying around the house. 55 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:35,141 The individual plates that a seahorse is composed of, 56 00:03:35,141 --> 00:03:36,878 they're called scutes. 57 00:03:37,343 --> 00:03:41,571 I wanted to use my different body impressions as all the scoots 58 00:03:41,571 --> 00:03:42,880 on the seahorse. 59 00:03:43,046 --> 00:03:45,571 So, down here are the fingers. 60 00:03:45,571 --> 00:03:47,141 Further up, thumbprints. 61 00:03:47,952 --> 00:03:50,169 The eyes are kind of bellybuttons. 62 00:03:51,742 --> 00:03:56,111 These kind of horn structures are my mouth 63 00:03:56,111 --> 00:03:57,848 just the forming of a kiss. 64 00:03:59,046 --> 00:04:03,015 You can kind of read body parts a little more clearly in the bubbles. 65 00:04:03,148 --> 00:04:06,141 You can see different skin textures. 66 00:04:06,772 --> 00:04:08,816 The largest one is my head-- 67 00:04:08,816 --> 00:04:12,171 two skull caps, fit together. 68 00:04:13,446 --> 00:04:15,615 The seahorse is made out of polyester resin-- 69 00:04:15,615 --> 00:04:19,171 the same material that I use to coat the animal piece, 70 00:04:19,171 --> 00:04:20,973 "Animal Treasures". 71 00:04:24,741 --> 00:04:26,016 It's a mobile. 72 00:04:26,909 --> 00:04:31,078 Each cub is balanced on the tooth of the next one. 73 00:04:33,169 --> 00:04:35,508 An infant's heart rate, within five seconds, 74 00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:40,247 will drop when it's being held by its mother or grandmother. 75 00:04:40,509 --> 00:04:44,816 There is this very, kind of, relaxed gesture there. 76 00:04:53,647 --> 00:04:56,448 This body of work is relating more to my family— 77 00:04:56,448 --> 00:04:57,972 specifically my parents. 78 00:04:57,972 --> 00:05:00,773 I mean, if you want to go personal for a moment, 79 00:05:00,773 --> 00:05:04,217 I can say that I just feel very torn being here 80 00:05:04,217 --> 00:05:07,677 because my mother is dying right now. 81 00:05:07,677 --> 00:05:10,141 You know, I reflected a lot on, 82 00:05:10,141 --> 00:05:12,575 you know, just the family relationship, 83 00:05:12,575 --> 00:05:14,143 and the embrace. 84 00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:17,016 So it has that kind of embrace, 85 00:05:17,016 --> 00:05:22,425 where each figure is placing its trust in the next generation up.
