Kako Ueda

Kako Ueda is an artist from Tokyo who creates mesmerisingly intricate, lace-like art pieces from cut paper. It is evident form her work that the theme of organic forms runs throughout her work such as insects, animals and human bodies. The beautifully detailed work represents how these beings continue to influence and alter cultures. The work is enchanting and often feels for me slightly sinister with the use of shocking red  contrasted against blacks and whites alongside contrasting themes. 


I absolutely adore her work and wish she would exhibit in Britain so I can see it in person! I would love if the pieces could be made into lace and incorporated into a garment, but as you can see on they're own they are beautiful enough.
