Inspired by early experimental collage artist Hannah Höch, Mitchell’s work is about a “journey of discovery” in which all “preconceptions” must be abandoned. The result is a body of work that speaks its own, unique visual language, built through layer upon layer of imagery, to create highly original and provocative works of art.

Mitchell’s East Meets West series challenges cultural norms by deconstructing our preconceived notions of Japanese culture. The layered images offer poignant investigations into how East and West aesthetics can juxtapose and at the same time harmonize. This series pays homage to the genre of Japanese art -Ukiyo-e (pictures of the Floating World) which began in

the 17th century. The genre indulged in themes of female beauty, erotica, folk tales and landscapes mirroring the rising hedonistic lifestyles of the merchant classes. This body of work considers the evolution and influences of western trends within the floating world composition.
