CALL for ENTRIES: Bareback

Posted on August 1, 2016August 1, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

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…

This dilemma is not going away. It is a problem that needs to be addressed through action.” –from studiocgalleryla.com

circus FOOD

Popcorn is the nightly snack of choice at my home, but lately it has taken on a more symbolic nature. The current election climate has left me feeling disconnected from the political process –as though my voice and vote don’t count. It feels like I’m watching a movie, eating popcorn and yelling at the innocent girl to warn her that the bad guy looms just around the next corner. This next Call strives to connect people to the political and social issues that comprises contemporary culture. Take a look…

Creating powerful historical records of experience with patients, he changes the ordinary role of a doctor into an artist inspired by healing, fusing the space between art and medicine. Before his retirement, he was clinical associate professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and member of the Institute for Medical Humanities, The University of Texas Medical Branch, specializing in issues related to HIV/AIDS. In addition to being the subject of numerous gallery exhibitions, Avery’s work is found in many prestigious permanent collections.

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…

one POTATO, two POTATOES

I caught my child harvesting poisonous potatoes. Digging up a rare, toxic tater is a good thing I’m told. They weren’t meant for us, luckily, and he didn’t dig them from our yard. He found them in the Desert Biome on Minecraft. If you don’t understand that last sentence, fear not, you can stick to checkers or chess for this next Call. Play through…

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…

flawless FRUIT

I’m taking less food pics in restaurants these days. I’ve been shamed into stopping. How ’bout you? Now when I am served a beautiful dish, I have to weigh whether it is worth the condescending looks of disdain from servers and other patrons. Sigh. The only advantage is that taking pictures at home allows me to use a really camera, not my phone, and get the cherries arranged just so. Plus, now I can re-heat dinner after I get the perfect shot, ha. This next Call is interested in your perfect shots. Take a look…
