Jules Bishop

Jules Bishop lives in Oxfordshire and the driving force in her work is environmental activism. She works in an intersectional way, crossing disciplines in the humanities, sciences and technology. Her versatile practice embodies sculpture, video art, performance, ‘happenings’, print, drawing, dialogue and natural pigments. Jules is an artist who wants a society with a caring operating system and a planet with a future.

She has worked with the University of Oxford developing a sustainable research partnership with natural hedgerow inks, pigments and paints and her current research centres on the natural habitat of hedgerows in rural Oxfordshire. Jules has built a seasonal collection of hedgerow inks and has developed a unique way of working with the inks, freezing them to preserve vibrancy, and creating ice-process drawings using different substrates.
