Su Blackwell
Su Blackwell is a London-based artist who creates fairytale and myth-themed sculptures out of books. To Blackwell, literature is a treasure-trove of inspiration. She crafts her sculptures by cutting out the pages of books, paying close attention to the words that form the tapestries of their stories and atmospheres. Using literary pages as a material, she gives life to her imaginary realms through a breathtaking artistic process. Blackwell’s first exhibition in Asia displays 11 book sculptures, including new work, exploring the idea of “dwelling.” With flowers that bloom from the page, these pieces are based on the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s “The Poetics of Space,” a book from 1957 about the various spaces that envelop people, from homes to the cosmos.
