Su Blackwell tells fairy-tales like no other, she lets her art present classical stories in the most intriguing way.
She creates three-dimensional paper cut sculptures out of old books in the most detailed manner. Apart from being a very talented artist Su is an art director too, and apart from creating these truly unique sculptures she also sells greeting cards on her website.
"I began making a series of book-sculpture, cutting out images from old books to create three-dimensional diorama'a, and displaying them inside wooden boxes." she shares.
Further explaining, "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 color."

Su Blackwell, you are inspiring. Your art is so beautiful and original. I just love Alice in Wonderland, my most favourite story ever. Thank you e-junkie for finding Su and sharing her lovely work.
