In an interview with Stephen Hepworth for the British Council exhibition Tailsliding in 2001, Hasegawa described her work: "I never thought I was going to be a painter, I started by studying graphics. I tried so many different things. The 'cut out' was the end of that process but also the beginning. The cut out was something interesting. It has so many different things; the three dimensionality combined with the flat photographic element. The illusion the figure has... it's not painting a portrait or making a sculpture, but something in-between. There's a strangeness. It comes from installation, working in a space, it's a different world, for example as with a computer game, psychologically as well as spatially. I am not interested in making up characters though, it is more the desire that I want to be in a space.
