Here's a short piece I wrote on the installation artist Jacob Hashimoto for issue 21 of House magazine:
Text:
Working with
delicate bamboo rods and Japanese papers, Jacob Hashimoto creates
gravity-defying collages of dozens of small handcrafted kites that
amass in gallery spaces like kaleidoscopic clouds. Hashimoto
asserts that his work is neither painting nor sculpture, but something in
between. Using colour and monochrome to equally ethereal effect, he
contrasts a feeling of mass with an airy lightness and sense of fluctuation,
resulting in hypnotic interactive installations that echo patterns and forms
from nature.
