Film maker and textile artist Naomi Bishops creates landscapes, colour fields and sculptural objects using a combination of felting, appliqué, molar and hand stitch techniques.
"What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it." Isaac Bashevis Singer
"For me wool represents life and the universe. It is eternal, malleable and woven.
Fibrous and connected, it breathes. With the use of this eternal fabric I have attempted to explore the abstract shapes and forms of our universe.
The simple beauty that exists from the molecular to the universal.
From the cells of a beating heart to a spinning star that hovers in the blackest sky. Shapes swollen and round, beating and vibrating with energy and intelligence."
- Naomi Bishops, 2009
