The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

Papercut Sculptures – Noriko Ambe

Noriko Ambe, an artist in Tokyo, creates these delicate and complex paper sculptures and designs in a series called Linear Actions Cutting Project.

Though the cuts are mechanical and created by human hands, they look like sheets of marble or shell worn away over time by natural elements or even sections of bone. It’s hard to believe that the sculptures are formed by stacks of free-hand, single sheets of hand-cut paper. Started in ’99, this Linear-Actions Cutting Project is Noriko’s life work.
