Fetch the Good
By Stephanie Mitchell

Stephanie Mitchell mainly produces collagraph prints, taking inspiration from botanical forms. She enjoys the organic, flowing shapes that plants provide and uses texture, line and light to try to capture something of their fragility, movement and life in her work.

“I like to experiment with the technique, responding to the medium as the work progresses and use each stage as an opportunity to add something more. I develop my composition on paper before transferring it to the collagraph plate but I also allow the possibilities and limitations of the medium to take it to the next level. At the printing stage I use different methods of ‘inking-up’, chine colle and colour to develop the image further.’
