Critical Balalnce: Essential Small Quantities, Harmful in Excess

For her show at Hillyer Art Space, Bishop created a large-scale installation work complemented by a new series of sculptures that serve as a continued examination of form and space within her art practice. One of Bishop’s key interests with this exhibition was to create a psychological space that directly focuses on human response and feeling. In this case she focuses on the importance of balance by piling and dispersing several tons of salt throughout the gallery. A full-color catalog accompanies the exhibition in which Bishop shares ideas and concepts behind her work.
