Welcome back to Sus Art Club — where we make creativity sustainable again.
This week, we’re inside Studio 5 at Redux for a special Field Works artist talk, part of the August wall exhibition curated by Ty Davis and Tiguere Contemporary.
Instead of just focusing on finished pieces, this show digs into the process — what it really means to be “in the field,” putting in daily work as an artist. We hear directly from the exhibiting crew about their journeys, struggles, inspirations, and how they keep showing up for the craft:
🎨 Shannon Hopkins — teaching, ancestry, ash + paper trees
⚡ Concept Rich (Richard Drayton) — punk, improvisation, collaging culture
🌊 Samira M. Owens — genealogy, Gulluh Geechee heritage, indigo + blue ink
🧥 Christina Bailey — wearable art, grief, haikus + condors
🚀 Jakeem the Dream ( Dominique Hodge) — Afrofuturism, teaching, positive Black imagery
☁️ Diva - Daniel Velasco — ceramics, fashion illustration, grief + transformation
📸 Kyle Morrissey — photography, play, irreverence, emotion over representation
🔥 Demetrius Bing — painting through trauma, visibility, duality
We close out with reflection on ancestry, community, and why artists are out here creating culture every day — whether through clay, camera, canvas, or pure lived experience.
📍Recorded live at Studio 5 inside Redux Contemporary Art Center, August 16, 2025
