Kako Ueda Paper has been my primary medium of choice for a long time. It is an everyday material yet has potential to manifest itself in surprisingly diverse ways. I have drawn and painted on paper, printed images on paper (photography), then in graduate school (Pratt 99') folded paper. And for the past 5 years, I've mainly been cutting paper. Cut paper exists in many cultures and is normally perceived as a craft medium. In Japan where I was born, this medium is used for stencil making--a way to make patterns for kimono wear. I became attracted to the medium because of its history as well as its process of cutting to make images. Cut paper piece has a look of a drawing at the same time has its own physicality. |
