book sculptures

I have made a discovery recently and I thought it is an awesome idea to share this discovery with you. Actually, I have discovered amazingly beautiful book sculptures by Su Blackwell on the face of the net. In artist's words:

I often work within the realm of fairy-tales and folk-lore. I began making a series of book-sculpture, cutting-out images from old books to create three-dimensional diorama’s, and displaying them inside wooden boxes.

For the cut-out illustrations, I tend to lean towards young-girl characters, placing them in haunting, fragile settings, expressing the vulnerability of childhood, while also conveying a sense of childhood anxiety and wonder. There is a quiet melancholy in the work, depicted in the material used, and choice of subtle colour.
