Just the journal of a free spirit. Viollca (Kelsey Byram) of Tricks of the Light talking about her art, performance, and life. Monday, April 18, 2011. While reading a text on Hinduism and Buddhism (it contains selections from the Vedas and Upanishads, but there is more as well), I came across a section "On Truth in the Religions; Insanity: My Religion Alone is True." This selection from the text says in perfect words the belief that my work is based on. I will have to have this quote there with me at the...

leather.wood.stone: March 2011
http://leatherwoodstone.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Just the journal of a free spirit. Viollca (Kelsey Byram) of Tricks of the Light talking about her art, performance, and life. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. You must give more, always more. It is not enough to put in long hard hours behind the scenes; no one sees those hours. It is not enough to put a labor of love into your work; for others it is just a commodity. It is not enough to sacrifice all you have until you're tearing yourself to shreds; what do people care about another's sacrifice?

http://leatherwoodstone.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Just the journal of a free spirit. Viollca (Kelsey Byram) of Tricks of the Light talking about her art, performance, and life. Friday, December 12, 2014. Back when I was in art school, in 2009, I conceptualized this piece for my Fiber Art class. I was to be the Prey, and Cyricx was to be the Predator. I designed costumes of linen, leather, wood, stone, and bone (actually the inspiration for the title of this blog). Me in the Prey outfit. Photo by Pseudography Image Forge. Cyricx in the "Predator" outfit.

Just the journal of a free spirit. Viollca (Kelsey Byram) of Tricks of the Light talking about her art, performance, and life. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. HOW is that skirt staying on? I've fallen into the bad habit of uninspired, straightforward sketches of new clothing ideas and concepts, more like technical blueprints, with no character or concept behind them. I'm trying to break this habit.here are a couple of sketches:. Totally impractical, also totally hot. And anyways.personally, I hate havi...

leather.wood.stone: 8-Ring Manipulation
http://leatherwoodstone.blogspot.com/2015/07/8-ring-manipulation.html
Just the journal of a free spirit. Viollca (Kelsey Byram) of Tricks of the Light talking about her art, performance, and life. Monday, July 27, 2015. I recently purchased a set of 8-rings (so named because they are shaped like figure-8's, not because there are actually 8 separate rings), and I have found them to be incredibly enjoyable. Manipulating them is like a mix of double staff, contact juggling, hoop, and buugeng. Kansas City, Missouri, United States. View my complete profile. Tricks of the Light.
