Dean Reddick (with Ed Arantus) - Sets, Series and Ensembles

Dean Reddick

Welcome to Sets, Series and Ensembles, an exhibition of art in public places. Accompanying each public art placement is a 'First Response' for you to read here on the website. As artists and writers we are constantly collecting ideas, objects, themes, and sentiments. We are often searching for the connections and narratives that help us understand both our lives and our art. 

Dean Reddick's mysterious totem pegs are laid out in a row for us on Sets, Series and Ensembles today. They talk of another time, of talismans and rituals, and of wisdoms that remain, even to this day. Dean is one of the founder members of CollectConnect, always bringing fresh ideas and new work to our exhibitions. Ed Arantus has also been with us since the start, he exhibited a magnet in our first show, 'Open Fridge'. Now, as a writer, he discovers the old wisdoms of our past. Read his proverb below.

Dean Reddick

Proverb 

Lies

behind

marble eyes

catch flies ne’er bees.

Honeyed be, truth and web will stick to thee.
