Artist Statement:
My photographic work deals
with the transformation of the
physical and conceptual
properties of the medium by
means of time. My images are
printed on oxidized sheet
metal through the application
of photographic emulsion onto
the surface. In this process
the rust on the metal
penetrates the image from
underneath and surfaces to
become part of the image. The
time represented by a
photographic image, which
belongs to the past, is
physically shifted and
relocated by the decay of the
material, which is the
manifestation of on-going
time. The senses of
permanence and timelessness
conventionally associated with
photographic prints are
re-examined by the
impermanence implied by the
material. In a literal and
symbolic sense, my main
subject-matters: female nudes
provide the ground where these
2 opposite points in time meet
and the figures work as a
catalyst to accelerate this
transformation of the medium
due to the transient nature of
beauty with which female nudes
are viewed. By juxtaposing
oxidation against the figure
or by blending the oxidation
with the figure, I try to
create visual and
psychological tension. I
would like to continue
exploring a new possibility of
dialogue which would bridge
images, materials and time.

Metal plates replace paper in
abstract photos

By Kaizaad Kotwal
For The Columbus Dispatch
Hiroshi Hayakawa inventively
develops his photographs of
nudes directly on corroding
metal plates using "liquid
light."
Emotionally layered, the
photos are also technically
dazzling.
In his ...
