Sue Blackwell’s creations produce instant cognitive dissonance for me. As a rabid bibliophile, part of me instantly winces at the site of a gutted book. Yet I can’t look away…the beauty compels me. I’m impressed enough to want one (hell, ALL) of her pieces in my house.
On a related note, Thomas Allen creates book sculptures from vintage pulp fiction. I wish I could find more!

But they’re such lovingly gutted books. Looking at book sculptures just makes me love….books.
I LOVE books!
Even ones without pictures.
Sue Blackwell’s creations are breathtaking. How on earth did she create that gown or the blossom tree? I’m fascinated!
I’m wincing more at the pulp fiction that’s been cut up! It’s so rare to find good pulp fiction these days and just knowing Thomas is slicing and dicing some of it up upsets me…even if it’s in the name of art.
