parlor tricks is a visual multimedia poem inspired by what it means to be called into artistry. Art is a call to arms, one that demands your immediate attention and effort whenever inspiration decides to strike. Art is a marriage to a cruel mistress, one who promises release and admiration, and often delivers only disappointment, frustration, and the inability to see your ideas to fruition. Art is a respected profession for the successful, and a pitiable death sentence for the starving; and yet, the starving makes art worthwhile, the hunger for the next work, the next publishing, the next exhibition. Being an artist is a demanding and difficult path, delivering the highest highs and lowest lows of any other human calling we have.
