February 11 – March 17, 2012

Opening reception: February 11, 2012

We are pleased to announce White Scape, an exhibition in our project room of recent monochromatic works by Japanese artist Noriko Ambe. Each piece in the show is made up of many layers of meticulously-cut paper. Ambe cuts each sheet in a way that, when stacked, creates an object resembling a three-dimensional topographic map that charts a space between physical and emotional geography.

Noriko Ambe was born in Saitama, Japan in 1967 and lives and works in New York. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is in collections including that of the Whitney Museum of Art (New York). In 2007 she received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Ambe's 2009 exhibition at Lora Reynolds Gallery, Noriko Ambe-Artist Books, Linear-Actions Cutting Project, was recognized as a Best Show in a Commercial Gallery, Nationally at the 2011 AICA Awards Ceremony.

Noriko Ambe: White Scape will be on view at Lora Reynolds Gallery through March 17, 2012.
