Here’s a better use of your energy & emotion, trust me. Take a look…

BITS OF BEANIE

I’m torn about chili with beans. I love it; I do. And, I live with an acne-prone teenager. And, kidney beans are high in zinc which helps fight acne. But, the side effects of consuming large amounts of kidney beans, or any beans for that matter, are daunting. Let’s leave it at that. This next Call is good for the face–without the side effects.

WATER
hold the bottle

I have never been a water drinker. I prefer cold-brewed, black tea–decaf, no ice. But, I do force myself to drink a few glasses a day. But I never cease to be amazed by the bizarre marketing methods used to sell water to us at a premium. You can buy water from melted icebergs, from springs at the base of Mt. Figi & even from the demilitarized zone between North & South Korea. This next Call leaves the source of your water to you. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Black & White

Posted on January 20, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

ALL GREEN
no gray

Cilantro is a polarizing subject in my family. It is all black and white–absolutely no gray area. For more than 1/2 of my extended family, cilantro is nausea-inducing at the mere thought. I, however, cannot imagine life without tomatillo & cilantro salsa. (It contains nearly equal parts of each.) I try not to judge them. When I was younger, I always thought ginger tasted the same as I imagine lemon-scented furniture polish might taste. Now I love it on nearly anything. This next Call is an excellent reason to see all of the world in black and white. You be the judge…

CALL for ENTRIES: Flowers, Plants & Gardens

sweet or
SOUR?

I dream of lemons & olives–and corn, of course. While dreaming of my future garden, I am excited at the prospect of growing non-GMO corn. But, I also have fantasies of the produce I love most like lemons and olives, neither of which is native to my climate. Is it just enormous hubris on my part to believe that if I try to grow them in a walipini that they will automatically surpass the quality of the native-grown varieties that I buy after their long trip to my local grocery store? What is it about humans that makes us want to manipulate plants? This next Call wants to see how you successfully manipulate plants in your art. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals

Posted on November 27, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

corn, hay or
ALFALFA

Grass or corn or both? Research on how to feed the animals we choose to raise after the move to the farm continues. Most commercially-available feed consists of a high percentage of corn—GMO corn. Feeding our chickens and goats and sheep GMO corn really negates the reason behind raising our own animals. So grass fed, right? Why not just turn them out into the field since it has green stuff growing on it? Well, it is more complicated than that. You have PLANT and sometimes re-plant that field of “grass” in most cases. Then, what variety do you plant. If we are what we eat, they are what they eat. In the end, the animal depends on the plant. Interesting. This next Call depends on only the animal. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Seeing the Land

Posted on November 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

tired
BUT HUNGRY

Living off the land is labor-intensive & complicated. As my husband I began planning for gardening our own little plot of land, my head swims with seed varieties, planting schedules, crop rotation, organic pest control, bee pollination & seed preservation. The advantages of having an agricultural degree is all too clear now. And then there is the livestock–goats and sheep and chickens. Farm country looks a little less serene to me now when they whiz past my window on car trips. But when I fall asleep, I still dream of fresh beets, cabbage & carrots. Wrong–I know. This next Call wants to know how YOU see the land. Take a look…

SPRINKLES

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am an emotional eater. I own it most days. I have learned to indulge the tendency with care. Potato chips and dip are fine after an occasional day of stress as long as it isn’t a daily ritual. Also, I’ve learned to be more discerning about the potato chips and dip I chose, of course. I find that my celebration eating is far worse than my stress eating though. I am wishing lots of celebration cupcakes for the five of my readers (fingers crossed) that make the cut for this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Water

WATER
from above or below?

So we are still trying to figure out the logistics of building our own farm. We’re excited. We are hoping to move early 2017. We are working on alternative methods for everything: building, fencing, furniture, electric & sewer. Then there’s the issue of water. I can’t WATER goats and chickens and lamb or US without the water portion of the equation. And while a stream is lovely, there are laws about permanently diverting water that merely goes through your property. So my options are well water or cistern water. Both have to be pumped and filtered for different reasons. Decisions, decisions, decisions. This next Call recognizes water as the essence of life. I’m thirsty…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Water

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+

MEDIA: Open to any painting, drawing, mixed media, photography or digital medium.

THEME: Work should connect the viewer with the essences of life: water. The work can reflect on the simplicity of a single drop to the power of a raging ocean. It is the most powerful force on earth. It can humble us in the wake of a storm, provide us with endless energy. It is necessary for our survival. It can be the most destructive force on earth, and its beauty cannot be denied. All life on earth is connected by the need for water. Artists throughout history have captured it in all of its forms: drops, rain, storms, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.

CAKE,
carrots & all…

Do you know what you call a spice cupcake without the cream cheese frosting? A breakfast muffin. My husband is dubious, but I say the notions of breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner foods are abstract at best. Why must it be eggs for breakfast? And how much difference is there between banana bread and carrot cake, really? Mmmhmm. This next Call is looking for the abstract, and they DON’T mean carrot cake OR banana bread. Take a look…
