A room without books is like a body without a soul.
— Marcus Tullius Cicero
Su Blackwell is an artist working predominantly within the realm of paper.
She is a British artist best known for constructing delicate sculptures from the pages of books.
Su creates tranquil unique landscapes from cutting up pages of old books.
“I always read the book first, at least once or twice, and then I begin to create the work, cutting out, adding details.”
“The detail is what brings it all together, the magic element.”
Su Blackwell’s art is delicate, intricate, and personal.
She brings the magic of books into this dimension.

Maybe you spend the extra on two hardcover versions and chop up one of them! Then you really haven’t butchered the book — you’ve changed its make up.

Its weird – when I see book artworks I love them, but then don’t think I could ever chop into a book!! Funny how we are conditioned into certain behaviours….
