Katie Niewodowski’s cellular sculptures are both amazing and thought-provoking. She writes in her artist statement:
“I am fascinated with the paradoxical similarities of the cancer cell and the healthy human egg. Both have the potential for extraordinary growth. Yet while the cancer cell grows, it naively destroys… the effect is both seductive and disquieting.”

Noriko Ambe is a Japanese artist who specializes in large-scale papercuts. Her work is Charles Clary-esque except with more flow and movement as if the paper were oil in water.
