Durham Press has worked with artist Jacob Hashimoto since 2015, translating his distinctive installations of bamboo and paper kites into the medium of print. Over this near decade of collaboration, the Press has developed a language of hundreds of patterned kites with Hashimoto which he uses both systematically and freely to create compositions which dance, fall, and float across the page.
Hashimoto’s work is currently on view through January 18th in his solo exhibition at Talley Dunn Gallery, titled Not After a Million Years. The show features site-specific kite installations alongside Hashimoto’s print work created with Durham Press, a juxtaposition which highlights how his visual language transforms across mediums. His physical pieces rely on gravity while his prints rebel against it, full of entropy even in their static forms.

Jacob Hashimoto
Jacob Hashimoto has been collaborating with Durham Press since 2015, producing print editions and mono prints, featuring intaglio, woodblock, and screenprint. His prints often reference his kite works, reflecting on and reimagining aspects of his process—from the blueprint-like imagery of Lemmata (2015), to the nearly two hundred individual kite images in The Hashimoto Index (2018), to the playful compositions of The Necessary Invention of the Mind (2020). -
