APPETIZER

I wore flip flops on Christmas day because it was just that warm.  Then I got cocky and bought strawberries as if it were really Spring and I needed a treat for an upcoming garden party.  Ummhmm. The little red boulders the grocer sold me as strawberries had about as much flavor as, well, what I imagine boulders might taste like.  But this next Call is a REAL garden party.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Fine Line Creative Arts Center (St. Charles, IL) for Garden Party at the Kavanagh Gallery.  This theme could be just the inspiration to hang on to the promise of Spring. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Laird Bindrim

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

simply BEAUTIFUL

Minimalism has so many faces. Some would have you believe it to be stark and cold and gray.  I find it comforting.  I disagree that minimalism must always be bare.  Even intricate design can be simple and clean and appreciable for their design.   Today’s Artist of the Day, Laird Bindrim, shows such beautiful restraint. Such beauty in simply waiting for the unfolding.

U-Totem by photographer Laird Bindrim
U-Totem by photographer Laird Bindrim

“Photography as a medium is immediate. The “taking” of a photograph is measured in fractions of a second.  An art form, that has the unique ability to show us a singular moment.  In this image, the person talking on the phone, my good friend, is calling home to his mother to let her know he’s arrived safely.  Albeit, three thousand miles away from her.  This was the view from the car where I waited and watched patiently as he consoled her.” —Laird Bindrim

All people have something in common –hunger.  As a product of that hunger, we all have to eat.  Some of us are more interested in food than others.  Granted, not everyone is as obsessed as I am, but I’m also not the only one contemplating food several meals (sometimes several months) in advance.  There are towns where I feel right a home simply because of the food — like New Orleans, Louisiana.  This next Call, also food obsessed, feels like home too.  Iowa is calling…

PROTEIN

Food challenges abound: Meatless Monday, Veggie Thursday & others.  I full believe in $5 Friday.  It doesn’t have to be Friday, but, well, alliteration.  I like the creativity required to feed my family of three for $5.  My “go to” used to be chicken quarters (75¢/lb), but chicken that cheap can be scary.  But, I can serve the best of eggs as protein, grass-fed, free-range, antibiotic free FRESH eggs and still have plenty of cash left over to round out the meal.  Fried rice & quiche are family favorites, but if you are not an egg eater, dried beans are fantastic (but require prep time).  This next Call is also a shockingly good value for $5 as well.  Take a look…

POINSETTIAs

Holiday meals at our house are inevitably eaten around a floral centerpiece, or more commonly, a potted plant.  But, for love of our dogs, there hasn’t been a poinsettia in our home for a couple of decades.  Instead, we keep a Christmas cactus or two year round.  The only rule of thumb is to treat them badly.  My mother didn’t water hers for a year, left it on the front porch during multiple early cold snaps.  She pulled it in  & watered it mid-October, and it was gorgeous just in time for Thanksgiving.  So, as a rule, don’t eat your floral holiday centerpieces, but a Christmas cactus might protect your pets if they get the munchies.  This next Call is looking for your perspective on flowers this winter.  Take a look…

MILK

I’m not really a milk drinker –never have been.  I use it in cooking and to make cheese, but by the glass is uncommon.  It has in recent years, though, become helpful in the winter months.  In the winter, my writing for AAAD & creating my own art (both visual & performing) keeps me indoors most of the time.  A lack of sunshine for extended periods of time is often accompanied by a general malaise –the winter blues.  Milk isn’t a miracle drug, but the boost of Vitamin D does seem to help.  This next Call wants your perspective on blue.  Take a look…

Even as a kid, my tastes were a little off center.  My father used to chop carrots for me so that I could dip them in celery salt, conveniently contained in the spice container cap.  I don’t recall using celery salt on anything else either.  So strange.  Celery sticks got garlic salt, BTW.  Neither get either now, ha.  This next Call wants your perspective on childhood.  Take a look…

CULTURE

Mayhaw jelly is the gift that keeps giving.  I appreciate receiving foods from all over the U.S., but often those foods aren’t necessarily native to an area — just popular there.  But, the mayhaw berry is native to the wetlands, so every time I receive a Louisiana batch, I am transported back to a place I love.  You can keep the beignets; just pass the jelly.  This next Call hails from Louisiana too and is just as special.  Take a look…

We consume a lot of extra virgin olive oil, but I have found yet another reason to love this elixir.  It has topical applications too.   I suppose it should occur to me that it would make fantastic lotions and eye creams, but I always thought of it as an ingredient –not for use in pure form.  This next Call is as virginal as my new make remover.  Take a look…

One in Herself

 

“According to the book, Villa of Mysteries… by Katherine Bradway, the original definition of the term, ‘Virgin’ describes ‘a woman who is one-in-herself, belonging to herself alone, being her own mistress,’ and that the ‘virgin goddesses symbolized women who were complete in themselves and not merely counterparts of male consorts. They were capable of developing their own wholeness through integration, realizing their separate qualities inside themselves rather than through projection onto other persons to whom they were related.’  One in Herself invites artists to present work that expands our ideas of virginity and of what it means to be a woman, “who is one-in-herself.”–from womanmade.org

I have a food tattoo.  Not surprised, are you?  It wasn’t meant to be a food tattoo.  I spent a week in NYC while in the area for my grad school interviews.  So, I went to the Big Apple and decided the perfect souvenir would be to come home with a little apple.  Ridiculous, I know.  I’ve thought about expanding on the food theme, but I’d rather spend my money on food than tattoos, ha.  Plus, I’m a wimp when it comes to pain.  This next Call is interested on what’s on the body, not just tattoos.  Take a look…
