This Ordinary Earthbound Mortal was printed in collaboration with the artist and PS Marlowe Studios, Asheville, NC. Master printer Phil Sanders, assisted by Lindsey Sigmon, worked with Jacob to determine and implement the printing processes that would best achieve his vision. Each print was created by a combination of lithography, screenprinting, and collage.
Curator's Note
This print features an abstract composition of bold, layered black strokes that form a dense, chaotic mass in the upper half of the image. As the eye moves downward, the thick linework gradually gives way to intricate circular and grid-like patterns rendered in red and gray, creating a textured and rhythmic foundation. Small, colorful collaged icons—a red flower, a yellow polka-dotted circle, and a blue star—gently float on the surface, contrasting against the monochromatic background.
The piece uses layered textures and intricate mark-making to create a dynamic, almost frenetic energy. Hashimoto’s style often blends traditional and modern elements, using motifs that reflect nature, geometry, and abstraction. The choice of colors, particularly the limited but vibrant pops, adds a playful, whimsical, and balanced touch to the otherwise intense composition.
