Flat Globe "Tracks 2 and 3", 2007, cuts on yupo, 13.75 x 13.75 inches each

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.
