Kako Ueda Cut Paper

I Keep a folder of bookmarks with artists in it that I am interested in and want to learn more about. Yesterday I reached into my random grab bag and pulled out Kako Ueda, a New York based artist who makes larger than life, intricate cutout images in paper.

Kako’s work merges elements of nature, humans and human internal bodily systems, and sometimes describe a sense of time or mortality. The work shows an interconnectedness between these elements and the fragile medium of paper, enhances the viewers sensations of tenuousness. The pieces are delicate and ornamental and remind me of Japanese or Indian textile designs.
