‘I like the excitement of creating an object out of diverse and worthless materials to produce something thought provoking and interesting’.
Mr Papers is a character that has become more and more central to Sue’s work. In collaboration with 2 other anonymous members of the Mr Papers Corporation she produces cards and pictures that reflect the dissatisfaction Mr Papers has with present day society and the intrusion by the government into private life. Mr Paper’s is one of Sue’s most successful creations.
