Emily Mitchell

'...it behoves a man who wants to see wonders sometimes to go out of his way.'(1)

I have made work around the idea of figures fallen from their story. Objects lured from a dwindling rank, pitched from their place, grafted together in a new narrative. Flight earthed, needle sharp bones crunched, self a husk of memory. Snippets of syntax spliced together in a glove-fit, notched to a visual narrative; an equivocal cipher.
