CALL for ENTRIES: Seeing Blue

Posted on February 4, 2017February 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

unpopped CORN

Sleep is not my friend. As a lifelong insomniac, and I have tried EVERY remedy –prescription, herbal, oils, sounds, aroma. Lack of sleep promotes depression. For me, depression often takes the form of extended weeks or months of “the blues” marked by an remarkable lethargy and a sort of emotional paralysis. It is more common in winter, so I am actively combating insomnia every February. This year, I am having moderate success by not snacking late at night (my apologies to the massive hit sustained by the popcorn industry) & getting half an hour of moderate exercise each morning. Creativity is the ultimate therapy & this next Call is a great chance to work out some pent up “blues”. Investigate….

early EATS

I struggle with breakfast. Starting my morning with the proper fuel sets the tone for my day, but I struggle nonetheless. My art year is not that different from my work day –both go better with a little preparation. This concept of preparation is why I have been pushing art publication for the past couple of weeks. This is the time of year to drive traffic to your website in preparation for the full swing of the exhibit season. I understand that some of you like online opportunities and some of you prefer print. This next Call offers both options, plus international distribution. Get prepared…

CALL for ENTRIES: Back to the Garden

TROPICAL delights

Citrus & avocados just became an option again. For years, my family has been considering locations for relocating, mostly in the eastern U.S., north of the Tennessee/Virginia line. But after our years of circling the same section of the map, an opportunity much closer to the equator has presented itself. While I should be concentrating on finding a place to live and all the details that follow, all I can think about is mangoes and avocados, and option I never imagined possible. While I get back to the garden planning, this next Call offers you a chance to get back to the garden as well. I love this venue & I’m guessing you will too…

Except for a few specialty pieces, I’ve always owned white dishes. I love color, but food has always been the creative expression for me –even when my husband spent two years as a commercial potter. In recent years, we’ve begun slumping glass part time in a kiln shed built onto our back deck. I am intrigued by the patterns and textures and colors as they meld together. It make me want to make a different sheet of glass for every window in my house. This next Call is a salute to that very visual framework. Take a look…

an imperfect PLACE for food

My kitchen table drama is ongoing. It is a 45″ round pedestal-style table with a black, faux-milkpaint finish. Black shows every speck, and that’s worse when your driveway is gravel (or, in my case, not a great housekeeper). Every time I clean the table, the stain of of the finish comes off a little more and the chairs are a misery. It gets used as a makeshift desk, studio worktable & only an occasional serving surface, so I can’t bring myself to get rid of it. My mother’s solution was to quilt a new set of wedge-shaped placements. All better, right? Gotta love her optimism. This next Call won’t make everything better either, but it is a lovely improvement. Plus, it is a ongoing deadline…

pretty PROVISIONS

Design impacts my food choices. Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food. And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages? Don’t they already have their own packaging? I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design. It is okay; you can admit it too. Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine. I love this publication. Maybe you will too…

GARLIC breath

I’m now dreaming of Spring harvest. While everyone is craving soft spring greens, I just want freshly-harvested garlic with the shoots and stalks still attached. I want to figure out how to braid them together so they can hang in my kitchen and dry for a couple of months. That one initial farmers market purchase will flavor my cooking for an entire year. This next Spring Call could start your entire year off right. Take a look…

Have I told you I was born in Florida? We lived there of and on until I was 5 years old. My most distinct food memories are from Florida. I remember accidentally dumping spaghetti on my dad’s lap because I forgot to brace the drop leaf table. I remember loving hot dogs from Dixie’s in Treasure Island and momentarily believing I was abandoned because the line had moved and I hadn’t. Spaghetti and hot dogs. Expand your range of Florida experiences with the next Call. You won’t regret it.

mystery LUNCH

My favorite culinary masterpieces are created from the random remains of my refrigerator or pantry. This is how lunch comes to be almost every day. Left over veggies from salad or stir fry end up as spring rolls; emergency canned goods create the best vegetable soup. Because I live in a more rural location, bad weather & poor grocery planning can result in a hungry household. But a little creativity amongst the ruinous remains, turns out the most delightful surprises. This next Call wants to see what you creat from what remains. Take a look…

Give me more fat. Seriously. In the winter, I find a drizzle of olive oil improves every dish from grits at breakfast to soup at dinner.
