Who are you and what do you create?<\/strong>
\nKristian Flindt Hawker. I work across a broad spectrum of mediums including clay, paint, ink and sound.<\/p>\n

\"Kristian<\/p>\n

What materials and techniques do you use?
\nI predominantly use acrylic and oils for my paintings with lots of large brush strokes. For my pottery, I tend to mainly use stoneware but find myself mixing different clays together to create a more individual look and colour. As for the circle drawings they are mostly ink on watercolour cotton paper.<\/p>\n

What kind of inspirations go into your work?
\nI\u2019m an extremely visual person so I\u2019m constantly looking for and taking inspiration from everything around me. I spend a lot of time in nature and use stories that come into my world as inspiration. <\/p>\n

\"Kristian<\/p>\n

In what space do you like to create most?
\nAnywhere really. I enjoy creating in large open spaces. I am currently in between studios so it\u2019s a little difficult to create the larger pieces that I am wanting to. Hopefully that changes soon…<\/p>\n

What has been your favourite or most important work to date?
\nA few years back, I did a series of works that were important to me and they set me on a beautiful journey. Now I\u2019m constantly looking for the next piece in the puzzle to continue this story. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.<\/p>\n
