I graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2018 with a BA (Hons) in Communication Design, where my practice became increasingly lens-based. I strive to make work that is honest in its depiction of the world. I also enjoy using photography as a tool for self-expression, to connect with others and document communities that are often misrepresented or marginalised within the visual arts. I am currently in a very experimental phase in my practice, where I am exploring different ways of making images in order to further create meaning in my work. My current obsessions include: Cyanotypes, Lumen Prints and Polaroid manipulations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.melissamitchell.co.uk\/dear-mum#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/edinburghlofi.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Melissa-Mitchell-Dear-Mum-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Melissa Mitchell, Dear Mum \" class=\"wp-image-753\" width=\"410\" height=\"512\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edinburghlofi.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Melissa-Mitchell-Dear-Mum-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/edinburghlofi.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Melissa-Mitchell-Dear-Mum-512x640.jpg 512w, https:\/\/edinburghlofi.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Melissa-Mitchell-Dear-Mum.jpg 1116w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 85vw, 410px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Dear Mum<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.melissamitchell.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">melissamitchell.co.uk <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iammelissamitchell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@iammelissamitchell<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m Melissa Mitchell, a visual artist from Johnstone, working across Glasgow and Renfrewshire.
