Made Fresh Daily & Temptest Present: Til' Death Do We pART II

Temptest the Artist, who is known for pushing boundaries and captivating audiences with her innovative approach to art, brings a fresh and exciting perspective to the Houston art scene. A multidisciplinary artist, Temptest's practice involves the process of photomontage along with manipulating layers of paint, organic materials, sculptures, and fabric to create 3 dimensional collage pieces. Her works function as visual griot (storyteller), narrating the culture, resilience, spirituality, and mysticism of her ancestors. She writes about her work:  "My creative process involves careful study of the history and connections between African Indigenous people, Indigenous people of the Americas, and people of the African diaspora. I use my findings of images, documents,  conversations, rituals, traditions, music, artifacts, objects, and more to conceptualize my work. Through this I create multimedia works meant to celebrate and tell the stories of these findings."

The opening night celebration, taking place July 20, 2023 from 6-9pm, aims to foster dialogue, ignite imagination, and connect art enthusiasts with the visionary mind of the artist. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the artist, gaining insight into the inspirations and techniques behind Tempest's body of work. The exhibition will be on view at Summer Street Studios, Sawyer Yards, from July 20 through September 9, 2023.
