Reflect Revolve Renew
Stella Tripp
I live in Exeter – pretty close to my place of birth: Taunton in Somerset. But I travelled the long way round – living and studying in Israel, Portsmouth, London, and America along the way. I made and exhibited art in all those places, and have shown extensively here in the south west.
My studio based practice involves a variety of media including painting, ceramics, mixed-media constructions and installations. Since 2015 I have also been exploring collaborative performative practice, as a founding member of artist group Preston Street Union (PSU).
My work is abstract, intuitive and from within. But the within also reflects my life and surrounding environment and makes connections. Driven by process and by handling materials, there is also a conceptual layer tied in with that. Art is the way I reflect on the absurdity of life, the complexity and fragility of the world and our engagement with it.
