slow BURN
Four days out of seven find my family eating spicy foods. Before I quit smoking five years ago, I suspected my tolerance for spicy food came from my deadened taste buds. But after years as a non-smoker, we eat more hot food, not less. However, I’m not usually a fan of overtly fiery foods; I prefer the slow burn that simmers just below the surface. I frequently start dinner thinking “this needed more heat” and end the meal with a flush having creeped up my scalp. This next Call wants to know what is layered just below the surface of your work. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries from 440 Gallery (Brooklyn, NY) for Below the Surface, a juried exhibition, Brooklyn, NY, July 5 – July 29, 2018. Most of create work that is layered either literally or metaphorically, so this curatorial theme might work for you…
