pretty PROVISIONS

Design impacts my food choices.  Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food.  And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages?  Don’t they already have their own packaging?  I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design.  It is okay; you can admit it too.  Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine.  I love this publication.  Maybe you will too…

them at all. We knew finally that the girls were really
woman in disguise.” –Jeffrey Eugenides

___

It has been a revolutionary sort of weekend.  I am struggling to figure out what to make of the adults in this world.  While I am trying not to give up on people who should KNOW better, my heart finds relief in the children that DO better.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Richard Brocken, offers a view, often of children, that is reverent and ethereal, sometimes funny or mischievous.  Entirely humane.

I’m now dreaming of Spring harvest.  While everyone is craving soft spring greens, I just want freshly-harvested garlic with the shoots and stalks still attached.  I want to figure out how to braid them together so they can hang in my kitchen and dry for a couple of months.  That one initial farmers market purchase will flavor my cooking for an entire year.  This next Spring Call could start your entire year off right.  Take a look…

Reflections no. 4: Politics (mosaic 56 x 15 x 36 cm) by Peter Vial

“Watch from your gut, listen to your soul” — Peter Vial

___

We are, in total, comprised of the pieces and parts of our experience –both those celebrated and those survived.  The mosaic work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day Peter Vial speaks to that patchwork in such a visual way.  This work is so relatable, even though some of it is incredibly large.  I bristle at the ubiquitous Nietzsche what-doesn’t-kill-you quote because it typically comes across as condescension or gaslighting, but Vial’s sculpture is a celebration of life, regardless of circumstance. There IS a difference, and I appreciate that sort of optimistic realism.  No unicorns & rainbows.  Thanks, Peter.

Have I told you I was born in Florida? We lived there of and on until I was 5 years old.  My most distinct food memories are from Florida.  I remember accidentally dumping spaghetti on my dad’s lap because I forgot to brace the drop leaf table.  I remember loving hot dogs from Dixie’s in Treasure Island and momentarily believing I was abandoned because the line had moved and I hadn’t.  Spaghetti and hot dogs. Expand your range of Florida experiences with the next Call.  You won’t regret it.

Community is what you make it.  Creative endeavors are often solitary, singular.  I have, over the years, developed a love for creating my own artistic community online, worldwide.  When I learned of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kelly Jo Shows, I instantly knew we were of similar ilk.  I appreciate how he reaches out to those whose work he knows and loves, but whose person he does not necessarily know at all. Bridging gaps of time and space… with shoes.

___

“Most homicides in the United States are committed
with firearms, especially handguns.“ –from NIJ.gov

___

I live in the South where gun ownership is common. Hunting & recreational shooting are part of the culture where I live.  Gun control is a heated debate.  Do I believe there are responsible gun owners? Sure.  Do I think I have the capacity to be a responsible gun owner? Sure.  Would I give up my right to bear arms?  Today–this minute.  The epidemic of gun violence has to end.  Maybe there is an answer to that epidemic that still allows for gun ownership.  But, today, as of this minute, no one has found it.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Annie Hermes, puts the question of gun violence in your face, on an enormous scale, in surreal color.  Do we have your attention?

I acquire things in threes & fives.  I’m partial to the odd, regardless of the source.  My mother likes the evens.  I have three wasabi turtles; she has a favorite pair of berry bowls.  I have five sets of chopsticks; she has pair of porcelain egg cups.  My collecting has been purposefully curbed due to a conscious decision to own less, but “three” is still a set for me.  This next Call offers a $300 prize & the possibility of becoming part of collection.  This one is quarterly…

“In the desire to find the new, do we also mourn the old,
the left-behind places?” —Liz Ruest

___

For years I have been trying to find the balance between the whirlwind of excitement that comes with every new milestone in my job with the desire to be still and quiet and ponder.  For me it is the balance between ‘busy’ and ‘creative’.  As grateful as I am to have the opportunity to work a non-traditional job as a performing artist, I miss the creative freedom to produce all of the visual work that consumes my quieter hours.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Liz Ruest, captures that struggle for me.  Can we move forward while looking backward?

My favorite culinary masterpieces are created from the random remains of my refrigerator or pantry.  This is how lunch comes to be almost every day.  Left over veggies from salad or stir fry end up as spring rolls; emergency canned goods create the best vegetable soup.  Because I live in a more rural location, bad weather & poor grocery planning can result in a hungry household.  But a little creativity amongst the ruinous remains, turns out the most delightful surprises.  This next Call wants to see what you creat from what remains.  Take a look…

“”We are almost always intrigued by what is left behind, either when a disaster strikes or simply when a home (or a city) is abandoned.
