Su Blackwell is an artist working predominantly within the realm of paper.

Su Blackwell Studio Ltd. was set up in 2011.

Su has exhibited her exquisite sculptures extensively. Her illustrated book of fairy tales ‘The Fairytale Princess’, written by Wendy Jones, and published by Thames & Hudson was released in October of last year. Su’s book-sculptures are currently on display at the Djanogly Art Gallery in Nottingham. Her illustrations are contributed to a regular column in ‘Intelligent Life’ magazine.


Paper has been used for communication since its invention; either between humans or in an attempt to communicate with the spirit world. I employ this delicate, accessible medium and use irreversible, destructive processes to reflect on the precariousness of the world we inhabit and the fragility of our life, dreams and ambitions.

Su is represented by Long and Ryle Gallery, London and Wicca Agency:
