Kristy Bishop’s work is rooted in weaving, cloth structure and the repetition that is inherent to the craft. As a weaver and natural dyer, Bishop’s gouache paintings explore the interconnectivity between cloth, the hands that make it and the living things that compose the materiel. Composed of tiny brush strokes, her paintings resemble what fiber, whether knitted, woven, felted, or in raw form still within the plant might look like when magnified. From the simplest and functional structures of plain weave to loose, biomorphic tangles, Bishop’s work draws connections to cloth, the effort that created it, and the life that composes it.
