ARTIST of the DAY: Alicia Tormey

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

testing BOUNDARIES

In addition to being the Editor of AAAD, I spend a considerable amount of time consulting with artists individually on branding their work, unifying their message & the philosophical packaging of their work for consumption.  Technology is vehicle that allows delivery of work that is complete in contrast with that very technology.  I appreciate the push to expand my knowledge, to remain relevant, to drag a few artists wit me. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Alicia Tormey finds her own motivation in testing boundaries. (continues below)

“Galaxy” (left) & “Swoon” (right) by Alicia Tormey, encaustic mixed media

“An insatiable curiosity drives me to constantly experiment while testing the boundaries of this medium. The mystery of not knowing what’s going to happen next has the power to hold my attention for long stretches of time. The unpredictable nature of encaustic and the open flame of a torch captivates me and pulls me along for a never ending ride.” —Alicia Tormey

beautiful EXISTENCE

I’ve been searching for the perfect new home. I have fallen in love with the most imperfect 10 acres.  Someone else out bid me because my budget is ridiculous.  Two weeks later, their contract dissolved.  I have a second day to hold the hope of imperfection in my heart. Fingers crossed.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Sue Hotchkis celebrates that same beauty.  My totem art for the day. (continues below)

Learn more about the fibre art of AAAD's Artist of the Day Sue Hotchkis!

 “…my work is texture and surface, strongly influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi. I seek out imperfection, in the insignificant and the overlooked, using a camera to freeze a moment in time, recording marks and surfaces that are in the process of breaking down, ephemeral, in a state of flux. ” —Sue Hotchkis

smoky MOUNTAINS

The Smoky Mountains are celebrated for the vivid colors of fall, but those of us in the know appreciate the desaturated hues of winter.  We rarely get the opportunity to celebrate artists that live so close, so we are  excited to  share the work of Asheville-based artist Laura Sellers, our current Artist of the Day, with you.   (continues below)

“The summer series of crates were my first attempt at abstract painting on a 3-dimensional form using the desaturation scale. The entire palette was created from the combination of two complementary colors (yellow-green and purple) that when combined form a neutral grey. The colors matched the rainy summer days of the mountains perfectly, and the abstract lines mimic the horizontal landscape lines.” –Laura Sellers

The Gift
You Never
Wanted

 

We are often given gifts that are unsightly, unseemly, or straight out of a nightmare. Often these “gifts” stay with us, sometimes for the better. The gifts we never wanted take many forms, both physically and emotionally. In the end we have to ask—are gifts given for the sender or the receiver?

For the exhibition The Gift You Never Wanted, Non-Fiction Gallery seeks works of art that explore the idea of the gift as a burden or a blessing.

Tomatoes, tomatoes everywhere.  It is THAT time of the year.  The Farmers Market is awash with overly ripe tomatoes at rock bottom prices.  When they are less than $1 a pound, I have such a hard not taking them home.  We’ve taken to having snacks of sliced tomatoes, tomato sandwiches and marinated tomatoes.  They are the stars of their own solo show at our house.  This next Call offers you a solo show too, just not in my house.  Take a look…

I’ve been studying food preservation, from pickling & water-bath canning to vacuum-sealing & salt-packing.  I’ve run across a huge amount of admirable testing, experimentation and success amongst food-enthusiasts, homemakers, homesteaders, preppers & gardners alike.  I am open to almost anything culinary at least once, but some folks are out there just purposely trying to make food, well, wrong.  Koolickles.  I am almost beyond words this time.  Koolickles are created by soaking dill pickles in a mixture of Kool-Aid® & pickle brine.  Being open doesn’t always work in my favor, but this next Call definitely does.  They are open to almost anything, and it doesn’t have to be Koolickles, I promise…

CORNY

Popping corn is an art.  We consume bowls and bowls and bowls of popcorn at my house every night–organic, non-GMO cooked on the stove the same way it was done when I was little.  As a matter of fact, I believe my craving for popcorn is actually triggered by sunset.  I adore it toped by finely grated Parmesan & a sprinkle of chile powder.  My husband craves it with huge doses of freshly ground black pepper.  My son prefers it with just a sprinkle of sea salt.   That’s our nighttime popcorn trifecta.  This next Call is open to whole different kind of nighttime imagery.  Take a look…

Mineral Spirits, Italian Alabaster sculpture by Darcy Meeker
Mineral Spirits
Italian Alabaster sculpture		MEEKER tools copper, creates sculpture in stone, clay, silk, aluminum, and, well, pretty much anything she can get her hands on, and paints, collages and prints on a variety of materials with the same wide-ranging enthusiasm.

Meeker's work is all about flowing line, texture, opaque vs. translucent & figure-ground play. Whatever her medium at the moment, it asks to be touched. It's all about curves & texture, light & shadow. "I’m only interested in work that conveys that kind of sensuous pull."
