Hailing from the UK, Su Blackwell's delicate sculptures spring to life from the pages of his chosen medium - books. Using this non-traditional medium allows Su to break free from the more common canvas platform and bring the viewer closer to his works of magic and melancholy.
In describing his work Stu states: I undergo repetitive labour-intensive processes that often involve sewing, knotting, folding and cutting, intimate actions that reveal the hand at work. My methods of working are a meditative process, which can develop into an intrinsic type of ritual, whereby I take the familiar and by a matter of fact manner move it towards the fantastic.
Su's website has a small collection of his work including site-specific installations and a gallery of his book-cut sculptures.
