Naomi Bishop’s paintings search restlessly for connections between the terrestrial and celestial spheres, between geology and astronomy, science and myth. Intense and luminous, the paintings point to an invisible, unseen world that exists just beyond us.

This is an intermediary realm, somewhere between nature and the supernatural. Tiny stone circles are found in a forest, covered in strange symbols carved thousands of years ago, worn by time and overgrown by nature. Materials of unearthly origin fall from the sky. There are Strange lights over mountains, and hidden desert cities. Neolithic monuments buried by nature keep their secrets. An invisible web of connections, dark matter, halos around the sun and black holes that glow at the edges.

Inside a star sits the end of time.

Platonic elements – earth, water, fire, air and aether.

The aether. Places where there are tears in the etheric field Platonic elements – earth, water, fire, air and aether.

Space and time are made of something else, something different.

Things never seen before, or not remembered. Forgotten.
