Su Blackwell

Yet another way to show 3D is by creating a scene, Su Blackwell, a Sheffield born artist is known as a book sculpter because her medium is book pages. She almost uses the book and the stage and the pages as the set to create these scenes with the inspiration of the woods she used to play in as a child .

I really quite like this style of working, it almost has a sense of quiet and magic about it. She doesn't always just cut paper and layer it but in the top image she is also rolling paper. I think her work is beautiful and I would really like it if I could find a way to include something like this in my work, I think it's quite different and a great use of paper.
