About

Kyoko Hashimoto is a Japanese-born artist living on Kaurna Country in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. Working across critical and experimental craft and design, Kyoko advocates for new kinds of sensory engagement with materials and positions her work as tools to examine human relations to ecology. Expanding upon her practice as a contemporary jeweller, Kyoko's work includes paintings, sculpture and video installation addressing ethical and aesthetic challenges to the paradigms of material use in art, craft, design and industry.

Kyoko has an MFA from UNSW Art and Design and has exhibited widely across Australia and overseas, including the UK, Japan, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and the US. Her work is in permanent collections at National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of South Australia and Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery. In 2021, together with her collaborator Guy Keulemans, she was named one of Top 100 Game Changers in design by Architectural Digest, Italy, and in 2022, won the Waterhouse Natural Science and Art Prize. They are represented by Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert in Sydney.
