English fashion designer-turned-photographer Kirsty Mitchell whose own tragic dance with reality, in the form of her beloved mother’s diagnosis and subsequent death from a brain tumor in 2008.
Mitchell’s photographs in the series Wonderland are stunningly realized, the embodiment of her dreams from a life spent as the offspring of a literature-loving, English teacher mum who went to great lengths to inspire in her daughter a love for the visual possibilities that come from the page. Every one of Mitchell’s photographs is a labor of love, some taking as long as five months to create, each one dependent on all of its pieces coming together in just the right manner to create a piece of unrivaled beauty.
