Thomas Mitchell: 28*

28*

These are a small selection of images freshly cut from my book of ideas.

All three images are appropriated from magazines and adverts. Image 1 is a tongue in cheek statement as the only digital enhancement would be the text stating as such, also relating to the ongoing outcry for airbrushing in fashion images to be honestly represented.

Image 2 & 3 are both working with the idea of subtracting parts of each image to present them in a disected state, image 2 has been altered in a way to make it appear more like a hairy creature than the golden hair of a model, this idea could be broadened to creating other amorphous cut and pasted characters.

Artist's Profile

Multidisciplinary artist working predominantly in sculpture and mixed media. Taking inspiration from traditional construction and building techniques , I create objects and images that offset raw materials with vivid colour and crafted surfaces.

My current series of work is focused on the digestion of visual material. Creating collages from found imagery I meticulously paint a copy of the collage onto boards and finally create the work from cutting up the painted boards and building sculptures from the remnants of this destructive process.

The sculptures themselves bring into focus an ongoing investigation into the application of craft processes and materials in the creation of robust sculptural objects.
