So as far as I understand it Bishop is doing his MFA in Houston (I unfortunately can't remember the name of the academy right now). I was blown away by his work that was on display during our visit.
These sculptures are made our of wood, paint and shattered mirror-glass. The texture blew me away completely with the thick, as my friend here would say it, gnarly, wood and the sharp glittery glass. Somehow Im imagining how this cold grow into a fictional people and place, small crazy people (se pics) and buildings and lore; dark, gnarly, cute and somewhat scary at the same time. Some of the work didnt come out well in my phone-photographs (and is therefore not included), but this is a mental note, I hope to see more in the future.
