Corner View - Books

This week Jane's Corner View theme is Books.

I'm taking this opportunity to present you the incredible artwork of Su Blackwell, an english artist I really love!

Fairy tales literally emerge from the books, with strange and fragile scenery, enchanted forests, butterflies escaping from the pages, as if the story was taking shape... A wonderful universe, a work in many volumes!

Su Blackwell - Edinburgh Show

Her paper sculptures are actually presented in Scotland at the Edinburgh Show until the 24th of December 2009, and also in the great exhition "Slash: Paper Under the Knife" at the Museum of Art and Design, New York until the 4th of April 2010.

Su Blackwell - The Lake and the Boat

Je profite de cette occasion pour vous présenter le travail incroyable de Su Blackwell, une artiste anglaise que j'aime beaucoup.
Ses livres nous plongent dans un monde féérique d'où sortent d'intrigantes et fragiles mises en scène, d'où émergent des forêts enchantées, des villes enchevetrées, d'où s'envolent des essaims de papillons... comme si l'histoire prenait forme veritablement...

Un univers onirique merveilleux, une oeuvre en plusieurs volumes!

Ses sculptures de papier sont actuellement exposées en Ecosse au Edinburgh Show où vous pouvez admirer ses prouesses jusqu'au 24 dec 2009, et également dans le cadre de l'exposition "Slash: Paper Under the Knife" au Museum of Art and Design à New York, jusqu'en avril 2010.
