Learn more about the Flowers, Plants and Gardens exhibit from Art-competition net!aztec TEA

We move to our “clean slate” apartment in about 6 weeks.  It has a good-size front porch but almost no yard.  The only green in site is a decayed and crumbling stepped flower bed next to the driveway.  I don’t think I can really grow a lot of food, but I have a friend that says she can get me a cut of epazote, a Mexican herb that’s hard to find in these parts.  Maybe if I surround it with marigolds and citronella, I might be able to save it from the bugs & their furrier 4-legged neighbors.  This next Call wants to know about your flowers, plants & gardens.  This is a perennial favorite, ha…

MORE please

I have a complicated relationship with food.  I eat what I want, when I want.  I have a complicated relationship with moderation too. Food is at the very least a political one, and clearly a feminist one.  Diet culture is pervasive. Patriarchy is rampant in the food industry. Then there’s fat shaming, BMI calculations and food deserts.  This next Call wants your feminist perspective — food references not necessary.  Take a look…

I made a little party mix as finger food for my teenager yesterday.  It is his favorite snack, and I’m a sucker for the “please” of it all.  The reviews are in and while I got I got bonus points for substituting cayenne for garlic, apparently not including cashews is unforgivable.  Who knew something so small would make such a difference?  This next Call is counting on all things small.  Investigate for yourself…

I am not an avid fan of drinking water, but my health requires it.  Since the wildfires, I find that our water tastes different due to additives to protect us from bacteria that may have grown during the week water was not circulating.  It isn’t just a beverage.  It washes every dish. It is the foundation for coffee, tea, chicken stock and even poached eggs, mashed potatoes and steamed spinach.  Never take clean water for granted.  This next call requires the use of water media for all submissions.  Take a look…

Anchovy paste is a standard item in my pantry, but it’s because I have a Caesar salad addiction.  Otherwise, I don’t know a single person that eats anchovies outside of my family.  Then, I was sitting in a pizza joint in Hendersonville, NC when I heard someone say, “I’m here for the anchovy, black olive pie.”  See, I am not alone –never alone.  There are benefits to being alone at times though.  This next Call is the perfect opportunity to go solo.  Don’t miss this chance…

“When lost, it feels like we are going in circles.
When there is great accomplishment, it feels as if
we have come full circle.” — Marissa J. Menefee

•

I find myself rehearsing half-hearted apologies for the decisions to step off the edge of the earth, or so it feels, in pursuit of adventure and truly living in the coming years.  I am taking baby steps toward a goal, but feel an immediate, obligatory sense of guilt creep up on me after every accomplishment.  Proud but guilty. Excited but apologetic. Emotional semantics. 

Seeing the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Marissa J. Menefee, I thought, “this artist understands the circles in which I spin and spin and spin.”  Thanks, Marissa.

“No, I don’t want to be absolument moderne.” —Mauro De Giorgi

•

I struggle with modern definitions of success & ambition.  My desires of and contributions to this world do not often equate a standard path in a world driven by capitalism.  This isn’t a political statement about capitalism.  It a personal statement of awareness of both my talents and my shortcomings.  And, I’m okay with that.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mauro De Giorgi, finds his conflict with modern unwavering faith in technology.  That conflict has driven him deeply into connection through process.  I appreciate the lessons taught & learned.  Thank you, Mauro.

My papaya won’t ripen; it has been in my kitchen window for a week.  Ahhhh.  I try to eat mostly locally sourced/grown food; however, I am not going to commit myself to a lifetime of no bananas or papaya or mango because I live in the wrong grow zone.  As a result, some of the tropical fruits I buy are vastly under-ripe.  I usually just gross my fingers and hope for the best.  But when you know how fantastic something will the be, the anticipation can be a overwhelming.  This next Call is for a show I anticipate every year, both as a participant and a viewer.  Don’t miss this chance…
