Kako Ueda

Memento Mori, 2006/7 in progress -- site specific wall relief -- cut black paper, h: 50 in., w: 50 in.

In this series of work, one senses the tension between the associations of paper-cuts with folk art - which is supposedly devoid of creative impulse - juxtaposed directly against the whimsical choice subject matter - as an assertion of individuality.
