The Art of Reading

The Woodcutter's Hut

The Land of Far Beyond

A Quiet American

The Secret Garden
These book sculptures from Su Blackwell are blowing my mind. There isn't much for me to say, so I will let the artist explain this wonderful project:

"It is the delicacy, the slight feeling of claustrophobia, as if these characters, the landscape have been trapped inside the book all this time and are now suddenly released. A number of the compositions have an urgency about them, the choices made for the cut-out people from the illustrations seem to lean towards people on their way somewhere, about to discover something, or perhaps escaping from something. And the landscapes speak of a bleak mystery, a rising, an awareness of the air."
