CONTEMPORARY SCULPTURE ARTIST
INQUIRE NOW →Karen’s work is an archeological exploration into the structure and content of the book. In these works, her goal is to transform how a book functions, remove it from its familiar construction and reinterpret it as new and visually meaningful.
About the Artist
Karen Hawkins is a contemporary sculpture artist located in Austin, Texas. Karen creates meaningful pieces of art by reviving old books, resource materials and paper ephemera.
The digital age began replacing the traditional book through e-readers rendering the centuries-old form as a mere object. As an artist, Karen’s goal is to further push the objectification of books to discover whether they could remain purposeful in our technological age.
The resulting sculptures hold a nostalgia that each person relates to in their own personal way based on their life experiences with books.
As our studio clientele has expanded across the country, we continue to explore and discover new ways to examine this centuries-old form. Peruse our website and see what we’ve been up to in the art world. We look forward to sharing more of our work with you!
