Paper trees and cities: the artwork of Su Blackwell






After trawling second hand bookshops looking for novels, she'll spend months carefully slicing the paper to create impressive works of art

The pieces, which are worth up to £5,000 each, only consist of the pages that have been cut or removed from the book itself

She never uses first editions or rare books, but Miss Blackwell had to overcome an initial sense of guilt when cutting up the books

"I began feeling guilty about cutting up the books but I had the integrity that I would create something magical from it"
