Hawken makes brutalist garden sculpture, cast in concrete from the same urethane his wheels are made of, which isn't a coincidence. He calls his designs "solves" — the same word used in street-skating culture for working out a way to navigate a buttress or a bench. He's interested in exposing function and letting it force the design — like street skating in reverse.

The style emerged, ironically, at the same time "nek minnit" was brewing. In , Hawken designed and led the painting of a 45m mural in the Leith river tunnel in Dunedin. The artist and poet Hana Aoake wrote that the work "highlights Hawken's active engagement with Modernist conventions and abstraction, as it reflects aspects of German expressionist Franz Marc and a kinetic embodiment of the theories of Kandinsky.

The work is innately autonomous and can also be likened to a tomb, with the sharp lines of a hawk acting as a memento mori for both his late grandfather and close friend who died earlier this year.

In this way the lines appear to me to resemble hieroglyphic symbols moving your eye across the wall like an archaeologist studying an ancient inscription. And Aotea Square was gone and to me Auckland was just going through a real weird phase. I was pissed off about the grey. We also did a big skate event and we built all these ramps and I painted them all grey. Like a protest — but at the same time saying, 'Okay, you want grey?

I'll do my art out of grey. When Hawken says "Aotea Square was gone", he means Terry Stringer's iconic sculpture Mountain Fountain, which was removed from its place in the square and later relocated at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell so the roof of the civic carpark could be strengthened. The work features in the documentary as a nexus of Hawken's passions — both a fixture for teen skaters to "solve" and an inspiration for his art.

The engineers came in and made it a lot more robust than he intended it to be — which actually made it perfect for skateboarding. I still follow his work. And I have met him. We teed up an interview for Manual magazine for an article about Aotea Square, but I was a lot younger and I think was a little bit too bouncy and excitable about his monument.

And he just wasn't very excited. And then we came and skated it and that was a second level of art — because you had to solve it, in how you were going to go skate on it. Then someone could take photos of you solving it and that's the third level of art.
