unplugged, three

noriko ambe
 

Noriko Ambe, 2006, Tracking III, cuts on Yupo, 18 x 25 inches

 
Noriko Ambe’s work maps the land between physical and emotional geography, between landscape and body. She draws with an X-Acto knife by cutting hundreds of sheets of Yupo or paper, carving complex streams of swirls and ripples into the multi layered stacks. Born in Saitama, Japan, she lives and works in New York. Her work was included in Making a Home, an exhibition at The Japan Society, New York. She has been in several group exhibitions in 2008, including: Wall Rockets, in the Flag Art Foundation, New York; Seven Beauties, in Contrasts Gallery, Shanghai; Flow, in the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Minnesota, and Uncoordinated: Mapping Cartography in Contemporary Art, in the Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati, Ohio.
