Paper Art
So I have reached the conclusion: sometimes it’s okay to cut a book up. But basically only if you’re Su Blackwell. When she does it, fiction comes to life in a most magical, delicate way. (And the image she brings to life is made of the very pages describing it in the book. So cool!)
Not sure if you agree? Check these out and get back to me.







Stumble It!

Ok, just her and no one else.
Heh
Glad to check off your conversion to Su Blackwell’s book art
Wow. That’s really fantastic stuff. The blooming book is beautiful.
I know–she’s magic! I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with anything at the exhibit, but VOILA, in comes Su Blackwell… If you check out her website, she has bunches of other pieces that are exquisite.
I couldn’t find any good online photos of Rapunzel 2009, which was the piece on display. Amazing.
When/where was the exhibit?
The other work on her website is brilliant, too. I love the Chatsworth, Derbyshire work as well.
The Museum of Arts and Design in NewYork has an exhibit now on paper arts, if I can call it that. She has one piece there–Rapunzel 2009. But I loved it well enough to jot her name down in my little notebook and spend the next day staring at image after image of her art online
Where did you find her Chatsworth and Derbyshire work?
Yay, I’m so glad you found something to love in her work too
Just GREAT
I’m so glad you like her work–it’s incredible!
Chatsworth, Derbyshire is on her website–just a picture or two, but enough to capture the imagination!
She TOTALLY captures the imagination.
Those are absolutely incredible. I can’t stop staring at them. My favorites are The Girl in the Woods, and Alice’s Tea Party.
Stare away, stare away
I loved them enough to contact the artist to tell her so. They’re out of my budget, but how beautiful…
These are absolutely incredible!
Yeppers–and Rapunzel, on display in our own lovely New York City is also exquisite.
