Artist Su Blackwell is preparing for a solo exhibition of her new work, Remnants, at the Bronte Parsonage Museum.
Su has been commissioned to create a series of installations, inspired by the museum’s collections.
Su creates book-cut sculptures; intricate three-dimensional illustrations cut from the pages of books, and inspired by the stories inside. In this exhibition, she develops the scope and scale of her sculptures, responding to the Brontes and the Parsonage collections.
Remnants include her take on Wuthering Heights, as well as themes of childhood, imagination and storytelling. The installations suggest the Brontes’ imaginary worlds.
“Much of the museum’s collection is paper-based, and there are many connections between Su’s work and the Brontes, not least their use of paper as a precious material,” says arts officer Jenna Holmes.
“The exhibition will explore these many connections through a programme of supporting events.”
* The exhibition runs from August 21 to November 28. For more information, visit bronte.info.
