Artist Statement

 Mercy Hawkins’s practice centers around the craft-based manipulation of nontraditional art materials. In her current body of work, the artist disassembles mixed-media paintings, reassembling them using assorted fibers. Sculptural paintings are created with the intention of investigating human relationships with the natural world. Exploring varied methods of communication, vibrational pulses (wavelengths from nature) are excavated and made manifest in the work.
