Enchanting Book Sculptures Inspired by Fairy Tales

Su Blackwell, an English artist, imagines these poetic and meticulous book sculptures, inspired by folkloric books and fairy tales, which enchant our imagination and wake our child’s soul. She explains : “I began to make a series of sculptures, cutting-out images from old books to create three-dimensional diorama’s, and displaying them inside wooden boxes.” Her artworks are so fragile that they seem almost ephemeral.

Details are impressive ; the more you look, the more you discover little things, invisible at first sight. Enchanted forests, charming houses, boats by moonlight, a universe directly inspired by her childhood, which she spent in the middle of trees, to write stories or to read.
