I grow basil in most of the window sills in my home for just one purpose –making homemade pesto. I can’t grow much outdoors due to the bears and turkey and wild pigs (no, really). So, my windowsills stay full. I haven’t reaped much yet this year, and my stash of pesto is gone. Sad. But as I was excavating my freezer to avoid going to the grocery before dinner, I found a lone artifact– a bag of frozen basil large enough for a side dish. This next Call is interested in YOUR artifacts. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Culture

CRUCIFEROUS
gold

I struggle with the debate over the cost of healthy food vs. fast food. I struggle with the idea that there are food snobs out there that believe that “healthy food is expensive” is an excuse, instead of a reason. Healthy food IS expensive. Cauliflower, a relatively unsexy vegetable, is currently $6 a head at the grocery. Six dollars. That is insane. Asparagus, sure, but cauliflower? Really. And cost aside, there really are places in this country where access to fresh food is limited by availability, transportation & a lack of knowledge or ability to prepare it if it were accessible. So, instead of clever memes, can we just take a moment to talk about a culture that ignores hunger because it “doesn’t affect me”? Do you have to have something to say about the culture outside your window? This Call is the perfect opportunity to let your work speak…

BOTTLE

I drink everyday–bottles & bottles of water. As my alter ego, I perform 4 to 5 days per week, and on stage, I suck down approximately 24 ounces of water every 45 minutes to keep my voice in check. So, let’s talk about the bottles. I know that disposable bottles are not ideal due to the waste issue, but I am paranoid about being able to be certain that I am really getting disposable bottles truly clean. I have searched for a reusable bottle that has a large enough opening (for proper cleaning) but is both very compact (has to fit on a mic stand) and non-descript (so it doesn’t stick out in every picture). I am open to recommendations. In the meantime, here’s an idea of what to do with YOUR water. Take a look…

SUGAR bear

Food oddities abound –from century eggs to snake wine. But I find the biggest food oddity is the waste of food in massive, organized food fights. How do you use tons of food to make a mess when it could be feeding someone? I don’t understand. I suppose that some make an argument that food art is also a waste; however, I think the difference in scale might be the defining factor. I have to admit to loving Kevin Champeny‘s gummy bear chandeliers. This next Call is looking for oddities, but they don’t have to be food related. Take a look…

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus. Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly. It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature. Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com

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.

I have nieces in college that will only eat chicken & potatoes. More accurately, their preference is chicken fingers & fries. These ladies are in their twenties. Their parents chose their battles, so to speak, and apparently food wasn’t one of them. Even on special occasions like holidays & birthdays (not even their own), someone always cooks chicken fingers, nuggets or tenders for these two just to keep the peace.

I watched soap operas before I could talk. More accurately, my mother used to put me in my high chair and turn on The Doctors while she enjoyed her lunch. One day it came to an abrupt stop. Apparently engrossed in an overly-dramatic subplot, my mother neglected to notice I had fallen asleep and face-planted in my peanut-butter-topped-bananas. Since then, anytime my mother even see a commercial for a soap opera, the portrait of me covered in pb&b conjures guilt. This next Call wants your portraits; the food is optional. Love this…
