'Wonderland' began in the summer of 2009 and was created in memory of the artist's mother Maureen Mitchell who died of cancer in 2008. Maureen was an English teacher for over 30 years, her great passion in life was literature, storytelling and beautiful books. In the months that followed, Kirsty fell into depression and retreated to the woods that surrounded her home. Here she began to create an alternative existence for herself through the lens of the camera, where she created images filled with imagination, color, sadness and longing. This escapism soon developed into the concept of producing a lavish wordless picture book, dedicated to Maureen and inspired by the faded memories of the books she had read to Kirsty constantly as a child. For the artist, it became a way to block out the ghosts of the hospital, a powerful therapy and finally a way to live in a more beautiful world than her actual reality.
