Kind words about my work..

Cat Bishop elevates recycling to an art form. Vintage objects collected from flea markets and thrift stores—old toys, dishes, cameras, car parts, game pieces—get assembled and reenvisioned as oddly human and animal sculptures. Singles, couples, and whole families emerge from her ability to imagine anything as a body part—domino feet, cue ball heads, xylophone torsos, teapot bellies. The beings that populate her world of art are both strange and proud—"feel good" creations that evoke sympathy and humor at the same time. Great gifts.

Cat Bishop has sold over 150 sculptures to date on Etsy.com, many of the buyers being repeat customers, evidence of buyer satisfaction. Her work resides in private collections worldwide, including Malaysia, Australia, Switzerland and the UK.

Carney Baby is the newest offspring in the carnival clan, I have no idea who he belongs to although lots of the carney adults around here have xylophone parts. Carney Baby was created with a vintage alarm clock head, toy vintage metal Tudor xylophone body and vintage baby doll parts. His head is not attached so he can pose any which way you like...

He's looking to leave the circus and come live at your house. Carney Baby measures 16 1/2" tall and 12" wide, he's named, signed, dated and number 108 in the series of 1000 Pieces.

GOOBER the TOURIST vintage object assemblage 1000 PIECES no. 101

GOOBER the TOURIST vintage object assemblage 1000 PIECES no. 101, originally uploaded by catbishop.

This guy is loitering around the carnival looking for fun. He's a bit squirly, unsure of himself and loudly says "awww shucks" too often. With his purple and green shorts and skinny legs he's sure to find love soon.

Goober the tourist was created with old toys, vintage oil can, the inside working of a vintage alarm clock, vintage peanut butter jar lid and an old crystal and brass doorknob. Goober stands 16" tall,and will be named, signed, numbered and dated if I can find a place to do that.
