I have been invited by the Fairmont Hotel in Abu Dhabi to be their first artist in residence in an exciting new scheme they are piloting. The iconic Bab Al Bahr Hotel are hosting an artist in residence programme, which will see local and International Artists working within the hotel over the coming months and years. I will be working in the hotel lobby for two weeks, and will be keeping updates of the work in progress on my blog, and in an instagram feed. http://statigr.am/search/sublackwell

Patrick Ness speaks about his inspiration for his new book ‘The Crane Wife’.

April 5th, 2013 · No Comments

In ‘Meet the Author’ on BBC News channel last night, author Patrick Ness spoke to Nick Higham about his new novel ‘The Crane Wife’.
In the novel one of the characters cuts paper shapes from old books, and in the acknowledgements at the end of the book, Ness writes: “Shortly after giving George his pastime of cutting shapes from books I was directed (by a perfectly innocent party) to the extraordinary work of Su Blackwell”.
In the interview, Patrick talks about his book, and about my work, and acknowledges another artist, singer/songwriter ‘Colin Meloy’.
I’ve just ordered my copy of the book, and am looking forward to reading it.
The program is currently available on bbc iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01rp43s/
