So, I’ve been in potato rehab for about 3 weeks now.  I am trying to conquer the problem, but all I can do is dream about chips coated in dark chocolate.  I have forbidden my family from bringing chips or chocolate in the house.  I can behave when I have witnesses, but when I’m alone… look out.  This next Call wants to reward you and you alone.  Trust me, this is better than chips & chocolate.  The deadline is looming…

CALL for ENTRIES: Kindred

Learn more about the Kindred Exhibit from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center!standout SUSTENANCE

My earliest food influences came from my grandmother & her sister Maggie.  They had such different styles.  My grandmother was all about a meat, two veggies, some form of potato, bread & dessert.  Every meal.  My great aunt Mag was all about the drama.  Her corn-on-the-cob was the best.  Her deviled eggs were the best.  Her pancakes were the best.  But everything else, apart from the star of the meal, was an after thought.  I find myself gravitating toward concentrating on one dish and forgetting the rest.  All the glory, none of the mundane. What a strategy, eh?  This next Call wants to know about your familial connections.  Take a look…

Learn more about the Color issue of F-Stop Magazine! TASTE perfection

These days most produce is waxy, cartoon-saturated perfection.  Take baby-shaped carrots.  We can’t handle carrots with their roots and imperfect skin, so now we whittle them down to miniature perfection.  The other day I picked up a head of iceberg lettuce and promptly put it back down because it was pale-colored.  I’ve been influenced too.  Colorful food is wonderful & healthy & flavorful, but perfection is unnecessary & wasteful.  This next Call is colorful, but not wasteful.  Take a look…

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…

“For the Sake of Richness” (acrylic & fabric on panel) by Heather Robinson

“I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial.” —Heather Robinson

•

Four weeks left until my home, studio & storage space are cut in half.  I am trying to make the hard decisions about need versus want, necessary versus nourishing.  There is a time & place for everything, but finding those times and places is an art form all its own.  I fell in love with the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Heather Robinson, whose “Attraction” series explores some of these very themes.  I find it a comfort to know that others, both known & unknown to me, experience my thoughts & feelings & challenges as there own.  We are not alone.

He has lost count of the number of exhibitions he has curated and while blogging, writing about art and continuing to publish a milder print version of his magazine, operates Coagula Curatorial, his gallery of contemporary art on Chung King Road in L.A.’s Chinatown.
