Trey Reis is an Iowa artist working out of Des Moines. His work explores the unique characteristics inherent to the collage process through the creation of both visual and sound collages. He also runs the gallery space at The Lift in downtown Des Moines and a music label called Warm Gospel, specializing in the release of handmade cassette tapes and lathe-cut records.

Four collections of his visual work have been exhibited publicly: Piece (2018), Chaos Patterns (2021), Recontextures (2025), and aands (2026). Individual pieces have been included in group shows locally throughout Iowa and around the United States. In 2024, he was awarded the IEDA Artist Grant through the Iowa Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.
Terms: Experimental
Terms: Installation
Terms: Mixed Media
Terms: Paper
Terms: Visual

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
