Dénivelés

Noriko Ambe

"So to speak, I have been mapping the mysterious land between physical and emotional geography. I want to attain something sublime. The entrance of the way is detail. The detail is the key point of nature, and we are part of nature." Noriko Ambe

"Cavernous, but delicate, Noriko Ambe’s sculptures, books, and blocks of paper, large and small, from which she carved dramatic, stunning forms, stretch the properties of the material to intense lengths. The layers of paper in each piece, exposed to varying degrees depending on the angle of her cut, echoed the fragile look of cave walls or flinty sheets of rock." Jessica Rosin, Art on Paper website, February 2003

"The appeal of this work is wonderfully tactile. They are objects with a smooth and prickly surface you can practically feel just through looking. They also lead the eye through a tale of peaks and pitfalls, a landscape rolling with traditions reinvented. And they offer these sturdy observations using fragile materials couched in the intricate charm of Japanese origami." Elisa Turner, Miami Herald, October 2003

Merci. Quel passionnant jeu entre l'abstraction des courbes de niveaux des cartes et la matérialité du volume.
