Amelia Johnson Contemporary is proud to present David Mitchell. On Form features photography informed by abstracted geometry and the inventive play of lines, planes and intense colour. Mitchell suffers from left temporal lobe epilepsy causing him to experience auras:
“I am searching for those slow motion frames from the mislaid footage of our lives, those elongated experiences we lost or slept through, echoes of memories, something in the midst of personal history, the blinkered image, the half frame peep beyond the curtain, it’s almost audible; the sound of snow—slightly deaf in one eye”
–David Mitchell
