Sachiko Abe's broader practice is characterised by an emphasis on duration, repetition, and constraint. Her drawing works, produced during intensive residency periods, create dense graphic weaves from sustained mark-making.
Critics have approached these works through the framework of philosopher Gilles Deleuze's concept of "the fold."
Sachiko Abe herself has cautioned against straightforwardly meditative or aesthetic interpretations of her work. She describes it as "an aesthetic paradox" that places the artist at the centre of a field of reciprocal subjectivity: the artist becomes an object of the gaze, which in turn reflects the viewer back to themselves, activating what she calls "a feedback loop
." In her own words: "Be warned — my work is neither beautiful nor meditational."
