for dinner

As linear foods go, I make a mean grilled eggplant lasagna.  I don’t usually fall for the layered foods like 7-layer dips and trifles, but lasagna is the exception.  Most people are replacing the meat when they use eggplant in lasagna, I’m really replacing the noodles.  While I can find wheat-less pasta of most types, lasagna noodles have eluded me.  So, eggplant makes a gorgeous replacement.  I make it in a glass plan just to get the composition perfect.  Ridiculous.  This next Call is a far better use of a line obsession.  Take a look…

Lines

 

Lines are powerful compositional elements that control the way eyes move through an image. The effect that lines have on an image varies. Horizontal lines convey a sense of width, stability, calm, lazy, security, relaxation, constancy and timelessness. Whereas vertical lines convey a sense of strength, height, integrity, solidity, dominance, power, peace & tranquility, substance or permanence.  This Call is for images that utilize lines in innovative and dynamic ways. — from darkroomgallery.com

pickled, not red

My pantry is a library of food fads and favorites.  You’ll find canned tomatoes from my mother (necessary to all of my favorite dishes) and high-fat coconut milk (necessary to all quiet indulgences).  Then there is the the fruit cocktail, quince marmalade, pickled herring, kimchi, a jar of black lime & a few dried apricots left over from some food obsession or experiment that either went awry or with which I got bored.  I can’t bring myself to get rid of the non-expired food no matter how random because they occasionally inspire genius.  This next Call displays the beauty of collecting and sometimes inspires genius.  This is a beautiful idea…

FROZEN?

To freeze or not to freeze– THAT is the question.  I tend to cook in large quantities.  I do it on purpose to provide additional dinners, but mostly lunches, with the same amount of effort it took to make dinner.  The problem is that not all food freezes well.  Chili is great reheated after being frozen for a week, but potato soup becomes paste after only a day in the freezer.  Casseroles take on a luscious, unctuous quality while mushrooms turn to rubber.  This next Call want you to freeze TIME, for better or for worse.  Brilliant.  Are you up for the challenge?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Chronograph. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror.  But, I have a soft spot for this theme.  Take a look

Chronograph

 

“Photography is a medium renowned for freezing time. However, there are many facets and dichotomies this theme of chronology can visually explore.  Darkroom Gallery is calling for explorative visual depictions of time.  Pasts and futures can often collide…and what of time travelers and quantum physics?  Lastly, photographs can be truly devoid of time, they can have a sort of classic “timelessness”. “ — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

THEME:  Time-oriented photography; vintage, futuristic or rhythmic imagery.

to rise?

Breakfast is beloved in my house.  Everywhere I have ever lived, including some time in the Virgin Islands, breakfast has been the biggest meal of the day because it was always the cheapest.  Even tiny islands in the Caribbean can raise chickens instead of importing eggs.  So, a cheeseburger might be $18, but breakfast was always under $5.  Those days have passed, and breakfast can be a pricey endeavor.  It is apparently even more expensive if you get up a little later and call it brunch.  Start your morning with this next Call because it is definitely cheaper than brunch. 🙂  Take a look…

MREs now have a strong secondary market–doomsday preppers.  I don’t think that most people relish the idea of eating pre-packaged, processed military rations.  They have improved great (or so I’ve been told); pizza is even on the horizon.  However, I would think that preserving seeds, building hydroponic systems and farming fish would be better long-term solutions than MREs.  But then again, I’m not a doomsday prepper–so, what do I know?  This next Call wants your view on militarism, but I don’t think they are interested in the food options.  Take a look…

JUROR:  Lynda Schlosberg is a Boston-based abstract artist who creates intricate and process-oriented paintings that are constructed using a series of interwoven layers of meticulous repeating patterns of dots, dashes, and grids using highly saturated, vibrant and illusory colors.

Schlosberg received her MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, and her BFA from Ohio University College of Art. She is represented by Susan Maasch Fine Art in Portland, ME and by Kingston Gallery in Boston. She has recently partnered with the non-profit Art in Giving. She maintains a studio in Waltham, MA.

Cosmos

 

This exhibit invites artists to envision the mysteries of the universe, both scientific and fantastical, theoretical and fictional, real and imagined.  How do artists render the work of scientists, authors, explorers, astronomers, cartoonists, Trekkies, LARPers, astrologers, and philosophers? This exhibit embraces not only what science has revealed about space, but what humans have imagined about the cosmos.  From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity.  From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists are invited to submit works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine.  The goal is to assemble a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos.  –from prospectus
