The Book Sculptures of Su Blackwell
Loading...
Uploaded by shivabel on Aug 13, 2010
"I often work within the realm of fairy-tales and folk-lore. I began making a series of book-sculpture, cutting-out images from old books to create three-dimensional diorama's, and displaying them inside wooden boxes".
"For the cut-out illustrations, I tend to lean towards young-girl characters, placing them in haunting, fragile settings, expressing the vulnerability of childhood, while also conveying a sense of childhood anxiety and wonder. There is a quiet melancholy in the work, depicted in the material used, and choice of subtle colour."
Paper has been used for communication since its invention; either between humans or in an attempt to communicate with the spirit world. I employ this delicate, accessible medium and use irreversible, destructive processes to reflect on the precariousness of the world we inhabit and the fragility of our life, dreams and ambitions. (Su Blackwell)

OMG--these are beautiful, soooo awsome. Do you have a book, video, tutorial or pattern? How did you learn? How long have you been making these and how long does it take to make? What inspires you? Sorry for so many questions, but I am just in awe of your work. I would love to learn to make something like this...not as extreme, more like something simple, but this is such a beautiful art. Your very, very talented. If you do have a tutorial, where can I find it? Thanks for the video
