Su Blackewell Miniature Penguins, 2020 Paper on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Su Blackwell is an artist based in the South Coast of England and working predominantly within the realm of paper. Paper has been used for communication since its invention; either between humans or in an attempt to communicate with the spirit world. Su employs this delicate, accessible medium and uses irreversible, destructive processes to reflect on the precariousness of the world we inhabit and the fragility of our life, dreams and ambitions. Su expresses her unique art style through book sculptures (sculptures using books as the medium) and through themes such as fairy tales and folklore. Her pieces visualize the poetic space hidden within the pages of old tales; the sculptures created by cutting pages of old books are three-dimensional pieces of art that lead us to the world of imagination. Su has exhibited her exquisite sculptures around the World. Her illustrated book of fairy tales 'The Fairytale Princess', published by Thames & Hudson was re-released in 2015. Su has designed art fabric for Liberty London, and her illustrations have contributed to regular columns in 'Intelligent Life Magazine' and 'Harper's Bazaar UK'. Su has also turned her hand to art-direction for commercials, for clients such as Volvo and British Airways, and to theatre set-design. In 2011, Su appeared on Radio 2's Art Show with Claudia Winkleman to talk about her set for The Rose Theatre's production of 'The Snow Queen'.
