Jacob Hashimoto is renowned for his mesmerizingly immersive installations composed of thousands of layered, kite-like disks suspended from above that envelop the viewer.

Combining traditional kite and pattern-making techniques, printmaking, and collage, Hashimoto creates site-specific installations from thousands of suspended, hand-made papers. Building and layering his materials within the architecture of the space, the artist composes a visually stunning landscape made completely by hand. 

For Hashimoto’s BCA exhibition, the artist will transform the front first floor gallery with an immersive, site-specific installation that responds to the unique architecture of the gallery space, accompanied by several of his more intimately scaled wall compositions. Through the dramatic shift between size and scale, the artist invites the viewer to experience his work on different scales and explore the imaginative possibilities of creativity.
