Su Blackwell- Paper Art/ Illustrator/ Sculptor

Blackwell is a contemporary artist who works in the medium of paper. She uses pages of books to make 3D dioramas which she lights like little theatre sets, usually around the theme of fairy tales and folklore. The choice of paper and the theme of fairy tales communicates the fragility and vulnerability of childhood, and the subdued tones of the text covered paper create a melancholy atmosphere.

Her work has been so well received that she has branched out into other projects, being approached to create set designs for stage, window installations for global fashion brands and magazines and installation pieces for museums and heritage sites.
