Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Summer Solstice Exhibit from LibertyTown Arts!

SWEET harvest

While my friends are dreaming of picnics awash with super-size sandwiches and fresh squeezed lemonade, I crave fruit salads.  My childhood was fulled of canned fruit cocktail, coconut & marshmallow concoctions; so my adulthood is ripe with freshness. Most of the year I try to take in moderate amounts of sugar, but fresh, summer fruits like apples & pears, starfruit & guava, berries & melons are more than I can resist.  I’m hoping you can’t resist this next Call, which is also all about summer.  Take a look…

Beet wars 2017 just ended.  At least once per year, I post something random about eating beets on social media.  Every time, it ends in my friends arguing the merits, or not, of this ever-controversial veg.  I am amazed by how passionately people love or hate beets.  The confusing ones are the folks that love merlot & hate beets.  I’ll never understand the disparity.  They both have that same from the earth pungency, so shouldn’t it be a black & white issue?  This next Call is definitely all about the black & white of it all.  Take a look…

Have you noticed that the only a handful of foods are regularly sold in dozens.  Eggs & pastries are most common, but there are a few others, like oysters and hot wings.  As I understand it, it started because 12 pence = a shilling, and a shilling was a convenient unit of measure for 12 eggs, a pence per.  This next Call costs more than a shilling to enter, but it is the 12th in the series.  Open to any media…

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…

"Self Portrait of Artist as Feminist Artist, modeling #2" (digital photograph) by Amy Feigley-Lee
“Self Portrait of Artist as Feminist Artist, modeling #2” (digital photograph) by Amy Feigley-Lee

“There is a connection between
the way we conceptualize our bodies
and the cultural narrative to which
we subscribe.” —Amy Feigley-Lee

•

Are we not to judge people on appearances?  Or are we not to judge the aspects of appearance beyond our control?  Where is the line?  Genetics may predetermine my body type, but I can modify or pierce anything I choose.   Genetics may determine the symmetry of my face, but aren’t we all just one YouTube video away from highlighted, strobed cosmetic bliss?  I have only questions about physical identity these days.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Amy Feigley-Lee, speaks to the projection of physical self into the world, specifically the tension between feminine norms and the reality of occupying space in this world as a woman.  I love the cohesion of her work, regardless of media.  This portfolio is a joy to navigate.
