Thomas Mitchell: 35*

35*

Pink Thumb Circle - This piece was done in collaboration with my brother James Mitchell, his work deals with identity and mark making, and this sickly pink is a colour that I seem to keep returning to. using pigment inks we applied hundreds of fingerprints to a wall to create this piece,it was really interesting applying such a personal thing to a found object.

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.
