Evoking both sympathy and humor, Cat Bishop’s misfit sculpture art creations remind me of Toy Story’s Andy and his toy-torturing neighbor Sid with the evil bedroom playground. These beings that populate this Bishop's recycled art collection. Vintage objects, old toys, dishes, cameras, car parts, game pieces are all assembled and recreated as oddly humanistic and animalistic sculptures.
You can find Cat Bishop’s art on Artfire and her past work from Etsy resides in private collections worldwide including Malaysia, Australia, Switzerland and the UK.
