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.
Stella Tripp's packets hang over a murky river, a lure or an offering to whatever lies in the waters below. Look closely at the packets and see what has been prescribed. Stella is a regular and long standing exhibitor with us and we are delighted, as ever, to bring you her art. Our first responder this morning is Dean Reddick who adds his words.
Stella Tripp
The River Goddesses
The
Algorithmic Idiot Machine lurched into action
Blister-packing
our fragile skeletons and sweet memories
Attempting
to codify our subtle differences, our blushes and spirals.
Confined
in plastic and separated we slowly dried out and hardened.
We sang
our discontent, each in our bubble, our complaint against uniformity.
And from
outside, from the River, the Goddesses heard us and took pity on our
desiccation.
Born in Taunton, Somerset, Stella Tripp travelled to her current home in Devon, a very long way round. After a few years in Israel, Stella returned to Taunton to do a foundation course; then on to Portsmouth (BA Hons Fine Art); a few years in London; three in the USA (MA Fine Art; MFA) and a year in Cornwall, before settling in Exeter. Stella works in a wide variety of media, crossing boundaries between drawing, painting and sculpture.
