CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract II

Posted on August 4, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

DOUBLE
garden duty

We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Abstract II. The cash prizes are DOUBLED for this one! Take a look…

The artist’s work can be the “abstracting of representational objects” as in expressionistic, surrealistic or cubistic work. “Pure abstraction” is also accepted where there is little to no visual references of the external world.

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes…. Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.” — Arshile Gorky

ICE

Can someone bring me a mango ice shave? I have been desperately trying not to whine about the heat, but you could stave off my whining with a shave ice. Really. Don’t bring me a snow cone; it isn’t the same thing. It is about the location of the syrup. In a shave ice/ice shave, the shaving creates a snow-like texture that absorbs the syrup. In a snow cone, the ice is crushed causing all the syrup to settle to the bottom. Don’t try a shave ice unless you are prepared to never eat a snow cone again. Really. You can’t keep your hot weather, but don’t keep your hot pics. This next Call is a great distraction. No shipping required…

BEANS

I don’t drink coffee. For all of my open-palate talk, there are things I am simply not interested in consuming. Coffee is one of those things. For many of you, this is heresy, sacrilege, blasphemy. I suspect it would be like my reaction to people that don’t like chocolate–incomprehensible. But, I break my own rules. When I go to the “home” of something, I feel obligated to partake. Don’t you have to drink coffee in Washington? Maybe I could just visit Java Jive and listen to a few tunes in the giant coffee pot instead. Or consume a little art just a couple of hours down the interstate. I’m game. How about you?

APPLE
of my hip

I have a tattoo. It is apple-shaped. I know–food, again. It was really meant to be about food, technically. I went to New York City, aka the Big Apple, for my graduate school interview, and decided to get a little, nickel-sized apple tattoo to remind me of my trip to the Big Apple. Yes, I was sober. Turns out that I’m a bleeder, so it is my only tattoo. But, I really love them. This next Call wants your take on tattoos. Take a look…

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…

One of my favorite edible blooms, second only to zucchini blossoms, may be sweet violets.

KITCHEN
or mine?

Home is where the kitchen is. Yes, I know–where the heart is; I simply disagree. Anyone can leave, move & travel, but we all have to eat.

Everyone, for better or for worse, has a place they think of as home, a place where personal histories are shaped and life is lived. For ‘At Home,’ Don’t Take Pictures seeks photographs that explore the wide array of environments that people call home.” –donttakepictures.com

PIZZA
hot off the printer

I need a food replicator. The replicator from the Quark Bar (Star Trek) would be a stand out in any kitchen. Although I have to admit that using 3D printing technology for food gives me pause. I can’t wrap my brain around the ingredients that could take so little space that it would fit in my kitchen but yet be able to create an almost infinite variety of foods. Freaky, no? There must be science I am just not comprehending. But, I have to admit the pizza pictured here doesn’t look half bad. This next Call wants to see how YOU use the technology. Fascinating…

don’t be
BLUE

I survived another holiday without eating blue food. Why do people eat the blue food? Blue iced cookies & cakes are everywhere this time of year, so I am going to say this again… step away from the blue food. The closest thing to naturally occurring blue food is squid ink. Eat all the squid ink your heart desires, but please stop buying blue Jell-o, Koolaid, popsicles & icing. You’re only encouraging them. If you need to experience ALL the colors of the rainbow (including blue), try this next Call instead. Take a look…

FILTERED

Mellow, slow-cooked flavors are not usually just a product of slow cooking. There are special ingredients that help meld flavors, that calm individual ingredients like onion into more flavorful combinations with other foods. Home-made broths are excellent, and even a quality Worcestershire sauce can make a stove-top dinner feel like a slow-cooked delicacy. My favorite is still sherry vinegar. It is the penultimate calming pan de-glaze much like the neutral density filter, for which this Call is titled, is the most under-appreciated photo filter. I know–segue, right? 🙂 Take a look…
