art: book sculptures

have you ever read a book and felt the words just jump off the pages?  have you ever so lost yourself in a story that it is no longer a story, but becomes a reality so tangible you feel you could reach out and touch it?   artist Su Blackwell certainly has - how else could you explain her remarkable book sculptures?  J

just take a look . . .

2008, the wild swans

2007, alice, a mad tea party

2009, pandora opens box

i don't want to write a whole lot about these pieces because i feel their fantastical beauty speaks louder than anything i could possibly say.  basically... i'm in love.
