Rebecca Hawkins
In a world where much positive change is still needed, art is a powerful tool for telling stories and gaining public empathy. Rebecca creates sculptures and drawings that support campaigns for change.
With an enjoyment of building a concept, teamed with an ability to create strong imagery, Rebecca creates drawings and sculptures which celebrate strength and freedom, while holding movement, beauty elegance at their core.
Much of her work champions the strength and courage of women in situations where they are culturally or socially stigmatised. Rebecca is especially interested in the notion of what it means to feel empowered for women who are born into more challenging environments, and of the concept of Physis – ‘the determination to grow and survive’ – for women and girls across the world facing social and environmental hardship.
