Su Blackwell

"I undergo repetitive labour-intensive processes that often involve sewing, knotting, folding and cutting, intimate actions that reveal the hand at work. My methods of working are a meditative process, which can develop into an intrinsic type of ritual, whereby I take the familiar and by a matter-of-fact manner move it towards the fantastic."

Delightful and delicate, yet astonishing in impact and profundity, Su Blackwell’s intricate work towers above the imagination as flowering flights of fantasy spun from our favorite bedtime stories. From the visual feast that is Alice’s paper tea party, to the ethereal flight of butterflies from apparel to air, Su’s choice and manipulation of each medium reveals her exceptional capability as an artist and, more significantly, her rare understanding of the organic potential of the most common materials.
