“I like to live in that very fluid space between painting, sculpture, & printmaking, and the idea of an obsessively ritualized process is still very prominent in the work.” —Margery Amdur

•

Some people are all about intent and just work through the process.  I always have intent, but I do love process.  When I saw the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Margery Amdur, I immediately thought, “show the #wip pics”.  (They are some on Instagram, BTW.)  Celebrate the work, the making of the work, the result of the work.  Just celebrate.

Lavender infused whipped cream is a favorite treat in my house.  But at the moment, I am growing lavender in a window sill for my husband’s head.  The weather has been so beautiful that I’ve been leaving the doors open without benefit of screen doors, and every night mosquitoes make a meal of Jon’s forehead.  Lavender is both a sleep-inducing aromatic and a mosquito repellent.  So, homemade lavender-infused coconut oil is my medicinal hope for continuing to enjoy open doors.  This next Call wants your perspective on health & medicine, but it doesn’t have to be edible.  Plus,  free entry…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Passporte for Health & Medicine.  No entry fee, but only one entry per artist.  This is a timely curatorial theme too.  Take a look…

I have been craving the butter crunch of nuts lately.  Between having friends with nut trees and a mother that can’t stay out of the wholesale grocer, I always have an abundance of pecans & walnuts in the pantry.  Now they are sneaking their way into every dish from breakfast oatmeal to salads at lunch and every imaginable cuisine at dinner.  I’m wondering how long my family will appreciate the texture  and not notice the source, ha.  This next Call is all about texure.  Take a look…

Learn more about the Seeing Blue exhibit from Art-competition.net!unpopped CORN

Sleep is not my friend.  As a lifelong insomniac, and I have tried EVERY remedy –prescription, herbal, oils, sounds, aroma.  Lack of sleep promotes depression. For me, depression often takes the form of extended weeks or months of “the blues” marked by an remarkable lethargy and a sort of emotional paralysis.  It is more common in winter, so I am actively combating insomnia every February.  This year, I am having moderate success by not snacking late at night (my apologies to the massive hit sustained by the popcorn industry) & getting half an hour of moderate exercise each morning.  Creativity is the ultimate therapy & this next Call is a great chance to work out some pent up “blues”.  Investigate….

Except for a few specialty pieces, I’ve always owned white dishes.  I love color, but food has always been the creative expression for me –even when my husband spent two years as a commercial potter.  In recent years, we’ve begun slumping glass part time in a kiln shed built onto our back deck.  I am intrigued by the patterns and textures and colors as they meld together.  It make me want to make a different sheet of glass for every window in my house.  This next Call is a salute to that very visual framework.  Take a look…

“Repetition is based on body rhythms, so we identify
with the heartbeat, or with walking,
or with breathing.” —Karlheinz Stockhausen

___
Portraiture draws me in because I crave the human, the humane. But, aesthetically, the geometric and the abstract are the chosen wallpaper of my life.  I seek out the repetition of strokes and patterns of lines and symbols.   When I came across the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gyula Sagi, my thoughts went immediately to the human heartbeat and the comfort found in repetition.

an imperfect PLACE for food

My kitchen table drama is ongoing.  It is a 45″ round pedestal-style table with a black, faux-milkpaint finish.  Black shows every speck, and that’s worse when your driveway is gravel (or, in my case, not a great housekeeper).  Every time I clean the table, the stain of of the finish comes off a little more and the chairs are a misery.  It gets used as a makeshift desk, studio worktable & only an occasional serving surface, so I can’t bring myself to get rid of it.  My mother’s solution was to quilt a new set of wedge-shaped placements.  All better, right?  Gotta love her optimism.  This next Call won’t make everything better either, but it is a lovely improvement.  Plus, it is a ongoing deadline…

Check out this Open Call for Entries from The Woven Tale Press for unsolicited submissions.  No entry fee for this opportunity.  Writing submissions are welcomed as well.  Art publication is worth the effort, and I’ll keep publishing them until we find the right one for you.  Take a look…
