TAMEZ

Having worked alongside Stephanie for longer than anyone else in my career I have had the opportunity to witness how she fearlessly blends her history and identity into her art, admiring this, I am constantly inspired by the way she blends tattooing and art , not leaving any of her practices separate from one another. Her approach to making art and creating work drives me and informs my own personal process, helping me strive to keep a synthesis between the different languages I employ across various mediums.

HOOPER

What I find most interesting about Thomas Hooper’s work, is his interest in ideas of layers. He explores a very textural and meditative process as he journeys with his exploration of mediums . In his process he has achieved a very authentic method that engages us with his deep visual language.
