CALL for ENTRIES: Root

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Root Exhibit from LA Photo Curator! digging DEEP

It is root vegetable season again.  It isn’t all just potatoes and carrots.  Root veggies are one of my only opportunities to have fresh food all the way through the winter.  I’ve been preaching about turnip roots for years; try them as a substitute, if only in part, for mashed potatoes.  Or celeriac is delicious.  Rutabagas are divine, albeit stinky.  How about kohlrabi?  It isn’t actually a root vegetable, but it holds just as long in cool dry temps.  They are like savory comfort foods, minus the warm cheese.  This next Call invites you to delve into YOUR roots.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator for the Root exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants & an opportunity to support a great cause WITHOUT donating work. Great opportunity…

“My research has led me to find that the word, ‘root’ has ties to mathematics, music, machinery and computers to list only a few. Without giving too many clues, I’d like you to delve deeper into the meaning of this word for you and illustrate this word through your photography.  It could be related to a source, the origin of a thing or being, a foundation, an anchor and lots more. Have fun and let your mind explore.” –from Susan Spiritus via laphotocurator.com

The Thanksgiving sea of brown food has passed.  Luckily, my family forgoes the turkey, dressing, gravy & rolls thereby missing out on a good portion of the brownness of it all. I crave color even in my food.  A star of this year’s menu was the beet & clementine salad.  Beets are plentiful year around due to how well they do in cold storage.  If you are one of those folks that swear they dislike beets, make a point to try them fresh roasted.  (Message me for a recipe.)  In the meantime, here’s a call that also craves color.  Take a look…
