CALL for ENTRIES: Certain Places

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Certain Places exhibit from L.A. Photo Curator!so SWEET

Sugar is sugar, right?  I don’t think so.  Fried sugar takes me to morning doughnuts in the office.  Melting powdered sugar transports me to Saturday afternoon elephant ears at the flea market.  And spun sugar, spun sugar sends me straight to the state fair standing in line on hard-packed earth waiting for my turn on the Alpine racer.  Each smell is distinct, truly, and each conjures a certain place I hold dear to my heart.  Where is your certain place?  This next Call wants to know.  Explore the possibilities…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator (online) for the Certain Places exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants.   This juror has a spectacular landscape portfolio.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: CQ No. 49

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

either / OR

Food substitutions have become second nature to me.  I live with & cook for lots of people with food sensitivities, health concerns & philosophical/ethical food issues.  I have to be able to accommodate those folks without advance warning and without blowing my food budget.  Black beans make great gluten-free brownies; bananas work as egg replacement in many desserts & breads.  Lemon zest can be a fantastic salt alternative, & nutritional yeast is a great stand-in for Parmesan.  It isn’t about faking an ingredient; it is about creatively coming up with an alternative texture or taste.  This next Call is all about the creative.  I like this opportunity.  Is this one for you?

I am trying to lose weight.  Yes, again. I don’t really care about my size.  I am trying to get off some meds to make me less tied to doctors & pharmacists, less tied to one place, more able to travel.   Regular readers won’t be surprised to hear  I’m jones-ing for goat cheese & olives right now.  What ordinary item do you take for granted?  Is it the bacon on your BLT?  Or is it actually the mayo?  Is it the peanut butter on your PBJ? Or is it actually the drizzle of honey?  What I have learned is that I don’t often miss the star of the show.  I miss the little extra bits that keep meals from being plain or dry or ordinary.  This next Call wants to know about the ordinary bits that mean the world to you. Take a look…

“Here Kitty Kitty” (oil & charcoal on paper) by Susan Grace

“I find that I am an obsessive observer of signs but am increasingly skeptical that I perceive them in the ways intended by those who produced them.” — Susan Grace

•

I am moving my home and downsizing again.  This is the last step on the way to making my family more mobile.   I have temporarily returned to goal-specific formal secondary education, and have just met the end of residential parenting.  My world is shifting.  I look around me for comfort in the familiar, in signs and symbols that the sun will appear once again in the morning.  And, while the sun has yet to disappoint me, it is hard not to feel isolated when you interpret all the signs differently than those around you.  I feel as a stranger in a strange land, like the title of that famous sci-fi novel.  When I read the statement of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Susan Grace, I new I’d found a kindred spirit.  Read the statement, browse the work.  Maybe we aren’t strangers after all.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Art of Timelessness

Learn more about The Art of Timelessness Call from LA Photo Curator! the CLASSICS

I drove from Tennessee through Arkansas to Texas in two days this week, then immediately got on a plane from Dallas to Atlanta and then on to Charlotte.  Yes, I AM road weary.  All that traveling means a lot of restaurant and convenience foods.  I was also traveling with a teenager in tow, so the food choices weren’t always the healthiest.  By day three I was in full-on vegetable withdrawal when I tripped across a new restaurant, modern & sleek, somewhere in Arkansas whose specialty was salads.  Not deconstructed, not a self-serve buffet, not odd combinations or fusion cuisine.  Just salads –Cobb, Caesar, caprese & more.  Just the classics, timelessly delicious. This next Call is all about timelessness.  Take a look…

“As artists, one nurtures & comes to possess a visually attuned intuition. For some gaining this 2nd sight takes a lifetime of hunting and searching. Others seem to be born with this keen sense of knowing.  Most of us have experienced these timeless yet eternal essences.

CALL for ENTRIES: Beyond the Blue

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Call for Contemporary Cyanotypes from Don't Take Pictures!pumping IRON

For a couple of years of my childhood, I was inexplicably anemic.  I got used to weekly blood draws and iron shots.  The careful planning of my diet to include iron-rich foods became an endless exercise in meat eating.  It took a whole host of nutritionists to convince my father that spinach and seafood and peas and dried fruit were iron rich too.  I still love raisins.  A little extra vitamin C in my diet through citrus fruit allowed my body to absorb the iron, and voilà, my anemia disappeared, never to return.  Those days may have begun my diehard belief in food as medicine.  Iron was a key to my wellness just as iron plays a vital role in the cyanotypes wanted in this next Call.  Take a look…

“Sir John Herschel invented the cyanotype process in 1842 by treating paper with an iron-salt solution. As one of the earliest photographic processes, cyanotypes are known for their signature Prussian blue color.  This process is now in revival & contemporary photographers are embracing the blue hues, as well as experimenting with toning techniques for a moody, otherworldly aesthetic . . . [DTP] seeks contemporary cyanotypes that go beyond the blue.” –from donttakepictures.com

I have a secret love for rapini.  You may know it as broccoli raab or broccoletti.  People assume it is just fancy broccoli and often cook it that way, hence the reason I hide my love of it (until now).  Rapini is more closely related to a turnip than broccoli with the same tendency toward bitterness or stringy-ness if under cooked or overcooked.  Don’t ever buy, cook or serve rapini that isn’t a gorgeous shade of green.  (You won’t enjoy the yellow, trust me.)  Don’t under cook it or spare the garlic & olive oil.  This next Call wants your perspective on all the shades of green, not just the broccoli shades.  An open theme…

“For the Sake of Richness” (acrylic & fabric on panel) by Heather Robinson

“I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial.” —Heather Robinson

•

Four weeks left until my home, studio & storage space are cut in half.  I am trying to make the hard decisions about need versus want, necessary versus nourishing.  There is a time & place for everything, but finding those times and places is an art form all its own.  I fell in love with the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Heather Robinson, whose “Attraction” series explores some of these very themes.  I find it a comfort to know that others, both known & unknown to me, experience my thoughts & feelings & challenges as there own.  We are not alone.
