Fairytale Book Sculptures by Su Blackwell
Su Blackwell brings the fairytale world to life in these stunning book sculptures. In her profile she states that "as a child, I spent a lot of time in the woods near to my home, in my own make believe world." While she was attending RCA her father passed away; after graduating, while on a trip to Thailand, she had begun "to think about life, death, and the in between." She was inspired by her encounters with Eastern rituals regarding paper and states, "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."
