This deceptively simple sculpture asks us to focus for a moment and appreciate a beautiful aspect of nature that is hidden from our view – the air.
The ‘Flags’ are made from a special light-refracting polyester film. As the wind changes direction,
they appear to go through gradual colour changes, and display a brilliant blue, magenta, yellow or green – especially vibrant in sunlight.
The polyester material of the flags is amazingly durable as it reflects virtually all UV light so protecting them from degradation. The pivot assemblies are made from stainless steel and other all-weather materials – all mounted on a solid stainless steel rod with its own spiral ground anchor.
Flags each 160cm high.
Price for the group of ten: £2450. Individual Flags £265.

Ai’s work is based on a fictional narrative called ‘Pink Tsunami’, which references the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011 and caused nearly 20,000 deaths.
Kinoko is a mushroom head-shaped character who descends from the sky carrying a bag full of the essence of life. Kinoko walks through the pink desert, places a rucksack on the ground and sits on the floor to rest. Bubbles begin to form on the surface of the bag, covering everything until suddenly they burst, bringing a new life, that had not existed in the old world.
‘Pink Tsunami’ has become its own kind of mythology, and like traditional mythology the story changes each time it is told. Ai does this by modifying, rearranging and repeating her drawings in different styles and materials to reference how stories change and evolve from storyteller to storyteller.
About Ai Hashimoto
Ai Hashimoto is a Japanese artist who lives and works in The Hague, the Netherlands. She has exhibited in various galleries and museums. Last year, for example, her graphic work was exhibited at Escher Museum and her art performance was shown on the Dutch National television programme.
The starting point for her work is always a story. A story that she creates herself and ritual theories play an important role. It is not surprising that she has a background as an anthropologist. She studied anthropology at the University of Leuven in Belgium and fine arts at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in the Netherlands. She incorporates her anthropological knowledge and interest into her artwork.
Ai creates multimedia works, with which she has now created a surprising and multifaceted oeuvre. Painting, paper art, sculptures, installations and performances that always reveal surprising forms and rituals she has devised. A destruction and a resilience of nature have been important themes in recent years. Through her art, she shows us a new, scenic world, more positive, peaceful and serene.

About schulpture “Kinoko”
A major inspiration for one of Ai Hashimoto’s stories is the tsunami disaster in Japan. She developed the story about the character ‘Kinoko’, who develops new kinds of organisms and creates an unfamiliar landscape out of the barren desert. Kinoko is a mushroom-headed character who descends from the sky carrying a bag filled with the essence of life.
Prologue of the ‘Kinoko’ story;
After the Pink Tsunami disaster, everything was gone and covered with pink sand.
All living things seemed to be extinct.
One day, ‘Kinoko’ came down from the sky. It was carrying a yellow bag full of the essence of life. Kinoko was alone. It took the bag and put the bottom head into the ground. It sat down in a relaxed pose for a while. Small balls began to bubble on the surface of the bag and quickly covered everything. Suddenly all the balls burst and were absorbed into the pink desert. Then new life began, like bamboo shoots after rain. It seemed to be new life that did not exist in the previous world. Everything was covered with new life. The landscape is unfamiliar. It was the beginning of a new era, for better or for worse.

‘After a thrilling surf on the Severn Bore, I scramble up the muddy bank ready for the long walk back. It’s dusk as I make my way through an orchard by the river. I spot a beautiful barn owl swooping from an old apple tree and I am inspired.’

Lucy Unwin on her latest sculptures: My latest designs see the amalgamation of natural forms such as eroded sea shells and fossils, combined with the subtle curves and lines of the human body. Often plant like in their structure these organic shapes represent the ever present influences of our natural environment on the human body, be it both physical and emotional.
