Artists

Noriko Ambe
Since setting up a studio in New York, Noriko Ambe has made America her base, but continues to exhibit in museums and galleries internationally. Her works feature in a number of prominent collections, including the Whitney and MoMA in New York.

Ambe creates cutting project works by making precise cuts in individual sheets of paper with a very sharp blade, then stacking hundreds or sometimes thousands of the sheets together, so that thin sheets of paper existing in barely more than two dimensions are transformed into solid works with a gratifying three-dimensional presence. Mysterious fluctuations in focus are revealed by making deep cuts in an existing book or text. The physicality of Ambe’s manual process, acting as a horizontal axis, combines with a vertical axis spun from her unique narrative to make her paper sculptures very special indeed.

This show, “Continuous Cutting Altered Daily” features about a dozen new sculptures that Ambe created in her New York atelier over several intensive months. It is her first Tokyo exhibition in five years.
