Jason Hirata
January - March 2015
Heart rate is important. So easy to bungle good work -- so easy to believe in bungling. Feeling a success begin to slip away increases my heart rate. A stockpile of material, supplies, and time seems to lower it.
Return, recurrence retreat; experience, expression exhaustion -- Re- and ex-, again and through, also needs of mine.
Jason Hirata received his BFA from the University of Washington in 2009. His shifting, situation-specific practice has taken numerous forms and included multiple collaborators: drawing, writing, performing, instructional happenings, cooking, building sculptural camera stabilization systems in optimized white space, producing commercial acrylic paintings on canvas and constructing spoken allegory for radio broadcast. His work has been shown at James Harris Gallery, the Frye Art Museum, and Rocksbox Fine Art. He lives and works in Seattle.
