I really like this.
Noriko Ambe started cutting the paper in 1999, sculpturing books and blocks of paper.
Before doing this type of three-dimensional work, she used to paint huge landscapes in the attempt to represent something sublime and the infinite space. Now, she's interested in observing the power of the changing growing shape.
Using an X-Acto knife to cut through many layers of paper, Ambe laboriously brings her projects to their final state, which tends to resemble a finely featured topography. Using the five senses, perceiving the natural qualities of the materials, the process of creating is equally as important as the finished work.
