Extract
Machines were built to help artists, but slowly they’ve claimed art for themselves.
Those are the words swimming around my head as Dad falls into the chair at the kitchen table, his face buried in his hands as he sobs away the most recent bout of bad news.
The creative industry isn’t for people any more; art isn’t the product of human emotion. One by one, artists like my dad have been pushed out. Dad takes in a deep, rattling breath as he steadies himself. Me and Mum have our hands on his shoulders, comforting him as his body shakes in shock.
