The Infinite Gateway of Time and Circumstance by Jacob Hashimoto
Paper, UV Ink, Resin, Bamboo, Spectra, Acrylic, Stainless Steel
Composed of over 3500 individual kite-like ellipses, this immersive sculpture floats between two floors of the building in an undulating, interwoven canopy. The work transforms as images of earth, sea & various graphics give away to a gradient of translucent whites, revealing what the artist envisioned as “a cloud of kites and a landscape of air and earth painted at the edge of the sky.” The work creates the impression of a landscape drifting in and out of visibility through clouds, or slowly becoming subsumed by a descending marine layer. Other references include video games, virtual environments, cosmology, systems and language of representation, nature, art, technology and architecture.
