Patience, paper and an xacto knife

I have stumbled upon the Japanese artist Noriko Ambe.  I highly recommend you take a moment an google her.  She takes these incredible stacks of paper or books and cuts them with an xacto knife page by page.  Her cuts are so precise that it looks like the books and paper are these deep caverns inside of an alien planet.  But I'll let you take a look and decide for yourself.




My question is, if I never told you that these were paper would you have been able to figure it out?  What do you think they look like?  Do you think you would have the time or the patience to just sit down and create one of these works of art?  What would you cut out if you could do this?

  41. I´m not quite sure how this would turn out. The project we did, mine did not turn out the way I wanted. It much easier to paint with a paint brush. It does look neat though.

    ReplyDelete
  42. These look more like paintings than anything and to make paper look like this is very interesting. The blending is really well done on all of these.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love how the artist did this. I don't think I would of been able to figure it out. I thought it was maybe lines that were painted in. I don't think I would have the patience do this, but I would like to try.
