An artist has been cutting up Brontë novels to create new works of art.

Su Blackwell is displaying the results in various rooms of the Brontë Parsonage Museum. Remnants, which runs until November 28, features “site-specific” installations inspired by the Haworth museum’s collections.

Su was inspired by Emily Brontë’s novel Wuthering Heights, as well as the themes of childhood, imagination and storytelling.

Sheffield-born Su creates book-cut sculptures which are intricate three-dimensional illustrations cut from the pages of books and inspired by the stories inside.

For the new exhibition she developed the scope and scale of her sculptures and they are being displayed among the Brontës’ own possessions. The pieces are described as delicate interventions suggesting the Brontës’ imaginary worlds and hinting at a spirit world still present.

Jenna Holmes, the Brontë Parsonage Museum’s arts officer, said Su’s work was exquisite.

She said: “Much of the museum’s collection is paper-based and there are many connections between Su’s work and the Brontës, not least their use of paper as a precious material.

“Paper was an expensive resource in Victorian times and the tiny books made by the Brontë children were created from scraps of wallpaper or discarded paper and used in imaginative ways.

“The exhibition will explore these many connections through a programme of supporting events.”

The exhibition was funded by the Radcliffe Trust and Arts Council England as part of the museum’s contemporary arts programme.

Su Blackwell studied at Bradford College of Art and Design, then graduated with an MA from the Royal College of Art in 2003.

Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in London, Edinburgh, New York and San Francisco. Her work has also appeared in numerous advertising campaigns, including commissions for Volvo, Pilsner Urquell and Cartier Stores, Paris.

The museum is open daily from 10am-5.30pm, from April to September, and 11am-5pm from October to March. See the website bronte.info.
