Old books turned into fairy tale sculptures

Su

Printed books have been seen before the precipice that has brought them the most digital format and that can be found in those eReaders that many of us already have. What happens is that, due to the lack of innovation in the latter, they are once again having a resurgence, apart from the fact that bookstores and publishers are updating themselves so as not to lose coba in this changing world.

One of those very creative proposals that attracts a lot of attention is the one devised by Su Blackwell, an English artist who creates sculptures of fairy stories in old books. Quite a successful idea and creative proposal to show how books have a lot of place in this crazy and digital world in which we try to move as we can when everything around us is going at an amazing pace.

She transforms the flat pages of books on three-dimensional objects and build entire scenes that he fills with mystery. Su finds her books in second-hand bookstores and always reads them before starting the creative process that leads her to sculpting.

His latest series called "Dwelling" is inspired by popular stories. It is characterized by wooden villages, tree houses and other types of structures that are normally lit at night when someone lives in them.

This English artist chooses to illuminate her intricate sculptures to give that necessary contrast and that depth. The funny thing about this series is that the same artist claims that she is creating those houses when she is in the process of selling her own. You will leave London with the possibility of going to a quiet town near the sea. The process of buying a new home is so evocative that, as she says, it inspired her to make that striking and surprising series.
