    An edited archived video of Art Brunch ep25 with Jasmine, Art Brunch streams live Sundays from 10-1ct on Twitch Follow us on Twitch to never miss live art content ► www.twitch.tv/thetravelagency Full Audio Version ► https://anchor.fm/thetravelagency​   » Keep up to date on ig: www.instagram.com/thetravelagency Timestamps:  About Jasmine:  Jasmine is a self taught artist with a background in science. Her art explores the emergent patterns found in natural growth, form, and collective systems. With elements of archetypal myth and a dash of futurism, her work seeks to create a language that crosses all barriers of time, space, and culture.  Out of the studio, she works as an Art Facilitator at Artists First studio and as a professional coach working with groups and individuals to use the power of art and imagination for personal growth.  Short Statement  Art is my quest for knowledge. The sciences and humanities each look at the world through their own lens but don’t offer a way to synthesize a broader view of existence. I use painting as a tool to organize and collect patterns.  Social Media  Website https://unusmundusart.com Blog https://unusmundusart.wordpress.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/unus_mundus_art/  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/unusmundusart About The Travel Agency: Our mission is to nurture a digitally native platform that hosts contemporary art making, produces art-centered entertainment, and provides digital residencies with multimedia exhibition opportunities for emerging artists.

    An edited archived video of Art Brunch ep24 with Kelly and Alejandro, Art Brunch streams live Sundays from 10-1ct on Twitch Follow us on Twitch to never miss live art content ► www.twitch.tv/thetravelagency Full Audio Version ► https://anchor.fm/thetravelagency » Keep up to date on ig: www.instagram.com/thetravelagency Timestamps: About Kelly and Alejandro: Kelly Jimenez and Alejandro Franco are both Colombian artists whose primary discipline is the use of discarded materials to create highly crafted works of art. Alejandro  is a multidisciplinary artist who works primarily in the arrangement of found objects assemblages as well as painting, Alejandro was born on October 3rd of 1982 in Medellin (Colombia), at the age of eighteen he moved to Florida where he started his artistic exploration “Living in the industrialized world, surrounded by an excessive amount of objects together with the media, I find fulfillment in the creation of characters built from various objects that were previously resting without purpose. Looking out for similarities between objects is one of my greatest passions, striving to interpret thoughts. I feel the need to intervene within these forgotten elements, to work with their poetic potential to create convergence that engages people with a message. A never-ending search for beauty, making use of the detritus of everyday life” Currently lives and works in St Louis  (US) Kelly is an experienced  Art Director born on September 5th of 1991 in Bogota, Colombia with a demonstrated history of working in the textile industry as an Art director. She moved to Florida at a young age where she pursued her artistic career with an Associate of Arts and Sciences (A.A.S.) focused on Fashion/Apparel production Design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Focused mainly on space intervention for film sets, editorial publications, and visual concepts for set design, uses everyday objects as tools for inspiration and exploration. Currently lives and works in St Louis  (US) Due to their affinity when working together and their urgency to preserve species and our land, they have been collaborating for the past three years creating a variety of works,  often in the form of stop-motion animation,  photography, sculptures, and lately, they have been fully focused in the creation of stained glass windows made out of single-use plastic.  “We are making use of the translucency and variety of colors of this material to present the audience with meticulously crafted pieces that turn a material so transient and detrimental into something of great beauty, worth preserving.  We are lovers of nature, we are always finding ways to celebrate it and preserve it.”  By spending all this time and effort to recover an undervalued material through labor, we hope to make an allegory of the efforts we need to make to preserve a healthy ecosystem, one where we can feel hopeful and proud, an essential desire has so often taken for granted.

    Art Brunch | Tiff J Sutton | Photographer and Arts Educator | S2E9

    An edited archived video of Art Brunch S2E9 with Tiffany Sutton, Art Brunch streams live Sundays from 10-1ct on twitch Follow us on Twitch to never miss live art content ► www.twitch.tv/thetravelagency Video Version ► https://youtu.be/2UVSv6cCJqg » See pretty pictures on ig: www.instagram.com/thetravelagency Timestamps: About The Travel Agency: Our mission is to nurture a digitally native platform that hosts contemporary art making, produces art-centered entertainment, and provides digital residencies with multimedia exhibition opportunities for emerging artists. We present contemporary art in an approachable manner and provide tools and expertise to artists to share their practice in new ways. Our live media programming cultivates unconventional audiences, promotes understanding through interaction, and provides alternative avenues for public interest and support for the arts. About Tiff: She/Her Photographer Tiff J. Sutton was born in 1981 in Rochester, NY, and was raised in suburban St. Louis, MO. She began documenting family and friends after receiving a Kodak camera as a Christmas gift in the early 1990s. While primarily a self-taught photographer, she also attended classes at Washington University in St. Louis and St. Louis Community College. Sutton is a 2020 Harvard #InTheCity Visual Artist Fellow and was awarded the Regional Arts Commission St. Louis Artist Support Grant in 2019, the Regional Arts Commission Artist Relief grant, the Luminary Futures Fund: Emergency Relief for Artists, and A Sustaining Arts Practice Fund (ASAP Fund). Sutton has decided to work with black women exclusively, as a way to reconnect with herself and discuss social movements. Sutton works with digital, film and instant cameras. Artist Statement: Working within the discourse of abstract and figurative portraiture, I create photographs regarding selfhood and social movements. My work explores the unnerving possibility of multiple meanings, dual perceptions and limitlessness in the seemingly binary. Drawing repeatedly on Black feminism thought, I capture Black women with poise and naturalness that exudes a sense of ease. Photographed in classical studios, on - location domestic backdrops and neighborhoods, I am determined to catch every moment in the subjects’ life. Often beginning as a narrative portrait and ultimately becoming an abstract portrait, the image becomes an imprint of their visibility, their alterity gone. www.tiffjtiffsutton.com www.instagram.com/tiffanyjoy1955
