CALL for ENTRIES: Figuratively Speaking

Posted on October 2, 2016October 2, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

LEMONgrass beneath my feet

Underground farming is a thing now. I’ve been looking for a “perfect property” for years now. Something small, affordable, naturally rich soil and easily irrigated. It is a huge wish list. But now, there are farmers that are choosing to go underground, create their own soil conditions, or use looped hydroponic irrigation — making double use of every square foot. It is kind of brilliant. This next Call comes from underground as well. ~~Investigate~~ Excavate…

will sing for FOOD

Food bartering is alive & well. Many of you know that I earn a living as a full-time creative, and much of that time is spent as a performing musician. Farmer’s markets & farm-to-table dinners are among our favorite shows due to the partial payment in food. Our menu is dotted with treats from the very landscapes that supply our backstage & side-stage views. This Call asks, “how does your ‘scape’ inform you work?”. Take a look…

FRESH on the street

My heart beats for the east coast, but my stomach is devoted to the other coast. I love that fruit vendors are to Los Angeles what the pretzel cart is to NYC. I can’t defect over fruit, but I can ask… the next time you are handing a few bills to a street vendor, look up. If you don’t see your art on the billboard above, then this next Call may be for you. Take a look…

hot HOT hot

My kitchen is awash with hot peppers. A trip to our UT Farmers Market resulted in a bounty of experimental varietals of habenero & Scotch bonnet peppers. I moved them from a paper bag to the dehydrator trays, and three hand washes later, my hands were still on fire. The maker in me couldn’t let go of the idea that I need to preserve them for use over the winter. The maker in me tries to find a use for every extra. How does your maker-thinker-feeler side affect your work? This Call wants to know. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Bareback

four-legged FOODIE

Parsnips make me itchy. My family eats copious amount of root vegetables –carrots and turnips and beets. But the carrot’s paler cousin makes me feel like I have rolled in fiberglass insulation. Parsnips are easy to cultivate & fetch a higher price than carrots at local farmers markets. I have a friend that grows them because she never has any waste. They last forever, but even if they start to get overripe, they are a favorite treat of her retired work horse. This next Call is interested in your equine imagery, and they promise not to make you eat parsnips. This is a lovely theme…

“Humankind owes an enormous amount of gratitude to the horse. Domestication of the horse provided humans with mobility, survival and pleasure. Yet today, horses are facing a daunting challenge. Yearly round ups by the Bureau of Land Management, kill buyers, horse racing breakdowns, and drought that forces some owners to abandon their animals, have left horse’s lives in peril. This dilemma is not going away. It is a problem that needs to be addressed through action.” –from studiocgalleryla.com

FRUITY fantasy

Food transports me. While I travel a lot regionally, I spend far less time west of the Mississippi, much less outside the U.S. borders, than I would like. If I can’t be there or go there today, or this year, food offers an escape to places far and near — both past favorites & those destinations yet untraveled. This next Call wants to discover the places to which you depart. Take a look…

fast FOOD

Groceries arrived at my door this week. You see, we chose to become a one-car family years ago. We live fairly remotely –2.5 miles from the closest two-lane road and nearly 10 miles to a minor four-lane highway. So, when the water pump on our car erupted in the driveway, getting groceries became a challenge for the weekend. Luckily, we have access to a grocery delivery that costs less than the taxi to and from the grocery store would cost. Some days, you just need a little help. This next Call wants to offer a little help to artists. Take a look…

squish SQUASH

Need a squash recipe? We should talk. Because they are in-season, inexpensive & always in-stock at my farmer’s market, it seems as though my family eats “crookneck” summer squash & zucchini nearly every day –sauteed, cassarole’d, mashed & even as soup. It is the perfect make-something-with-what-you-have veggie, and it is really, really affordable, sometimes 99¢ or less a pound. This next Call is for really, really affordable art, but I promise their definition is more palatable. Time to purge the studio…

300 miles from home, and we each wanted a salad on the go. Google sent me in the direction of a grocery store on the next exit with a huge salad bar. I came out with a traditional pile of mixed greens, spring peas, boiled eggs, carrots & cucumbers. My husband came out with segregated little piles of beets, broccoli florets, roasted tomatoes & olives, a wonder of little bites not unlike antipasto. Two schools of thought, equally valid. This next Call simply requires a school. Great exhibitions space…
