CALL for ENTRIES: Below Zero

Learn more about the Below Zero exhibit from LibertyTown Arts! beware the ICE

I lamented to a friend about my having to buy frozen dinners to supplement my child’s homemade options due to scheduling conflicts, and that session of whining spun off into a whole other discussion about why we quit calling them “TV dinners”.  My friend optimistically believes it is because people, generally speaking eat in front of the TV less often.  However, I suspect it is because we eat FROZEN meals far more commonly than just in front of the TV.  I am grateful there are some better options out there. So, if you’re standing at a counter, fork in hand, eating a frozen dinner & scrolling art deadlines on your phone, use it as inspiration to consider all thing frozen for this call.  Take a look…

“Hell has frozen over. The trees have lost their leaves, the sun is shining fewer and fewer hours everyday…and yet there is still immense beauty in the world. A drop frozen at the tip of a tree branch, crystals forming in a mud puddle…now more than ever, we artists need to find the glimmers of hope and push them to the forefront. And we may have some cold demons to exorcize. Show us what you think about this winter in all its cold, bleak wonder and possibility.” –from libertytownarts.com

Dairy isn’t everyone’s friend.  My child has struggled with it for years.  He loves it far more than it loves him.  To this day, nothing is better than seeing his FACE when he stretches warm cheese off a pizza or eats that first spoonful of ice cream.  People suffer for fashion and art.  Why not for the love of dairy?  This next Call wants to see all the faces of humanity, not just the dairy daze.  You know how I love portraiture…

“American Darts” by Cyrus Kabiru

“My work has everything to do with my dad. First the glasses. Now the bicycle. He raised me well and showed me the future. He wasn’t the kind of parent to give you things. Beyond food, clothes and shelter, the next step was you.” — Cyrus Kabiru

As the new year creeps closer, I find myself searching for a new frame of mind, a new perspective, a new framework, a new set of eyes, if you will, with which to navigate the world.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Cyrus Kabiru, offers us a reminder that we choose how we frame our future –crafting something new from pieces of our past, new, used or discarded.

I was born in Florida –Clearwater, to be exact.  My time there as a child was shortlived, a mere 5 years.  But, as an adult, I’ve had great reason to travel the width & breadth of the state.  I’ve eaten every imaginable cuisine in Florida, and I’ve written of many of them for you.  But the best Cuban food I’ve ever eaten was in West Palm Beach –no kidding.  This next Call hails from the same local and promises to offer a great opportunity in an excellent venue.  Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Root

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…

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

I believe in food as medicine.  Like a lot of you, I have a couple of chronic health conditions that require medication, including cough-variant asthma. I have chosen to take the least amount of medication possible to suppress side effects –specifically to my voice.  Green tea with honey, cayenne & turmeric is loaded with anti-inflammatories that really help prepare my voice for the level of use I have to sustain.  The positive? I take fewer prescription drugs.  The negative? My tongue is always orange, ha. This next Call wants your positive and/or negative take for the 32nd year in a row.  Take a look…
