This hanging work features a dynamic arrangement of kite-like forms suspended on black thread between twenty-four upper and lower dowels. Primarily in red and white, with subtle touches of yellow and deeper tones, the forms vary in size and pattern, overlapping one another to reveal and conceal glimpses of color and design. Each piece is painstakingly constructed by hand, a hallmark of Hashimoto’s practice, with layers of paper carefully folded, cut, and painted before being assembled into the suspended composition. While each form is unique, recurring motifs create a visual rhythm, a muted yellow line appears as part of several overlapping forms, creating the perception of a continuous line where none physically exists. The interplay of repetition, variation, and layered suspension invites active engagement, as the eye traces patterns, connections, and the delicate dance of shapes in space.Jacob Hashimoto is an American contemporary artist renowned for his immersive installations and sculptural works that explore themes of space, perception, and repetition.
