Specialist note

'The Los Angeles-based artist has produced a series of seven mod-format oil and acrylic images on canvas, adopting a cartoon-like, sardonic style to weave Native American stories, sexual myths, and psycho-sexual dependency, along with themes of social separation and assimilation, into a loosely episodic plot'
(P. Abs, 'Richard Hawkins', Flash Art, issue 238, p. 132).
