Origin, The London Craft Fair is currently going on in, well, London. Though I am not there, I have picked a few favorites from their exhibitors. I will roll these out over the next few days.
SU BLACKWELL is a wonderful artist in England. These book-works are beautiful and evocative, playful and just lovely! Normally I wouldn’t advocate cutting up a book, but these are something else:
From her artist’s statement:
“I use non-art materials such as books and clothes to create work which evokes a sense of dreamy melancholy or magical enchantment. I'm interested in the realm of fairy-tales and folk-legends and have been working on a series of book-works exploring these themes, externalising the pages of the book and allowing it to be read in another way.”
