"There is an element within our humanness that draws us toward order. This intrigue influences my decisions as I develop processes for images, objects and mark making."                    

                                         Liz Mitchell

                                  

 

"While there is enormous conceptual breadth within the work, there is also continuity in Mitchell's inspiration and choice of materials. Among her sources are personal history, current events, myths and dreams- the events and the narrative explanations we provide to help us understand them. Thoroughly researching her projects she gathers related materials, choosing to work with paper and found objects, (the components of collage), printmaking, paint and encaustic to create work that is multi-layered in both content and form"
