CALL for ENTRIES: Faces of Humanity

Posted on January 12, 2018January 13, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

THAI tofu

I was out having Thai food for lunch with a friend lately. I ordered massaman curry with shrimp; she ordered green curry with tofu. I will never understand. I said, “Tofu?”, and she replied, “of course, it is my favorite”. Seriously? I am certain there are a lot of people who appreciate tofu as a vegetarian-friendly protein that will take on the flavors of other foods. But she looked me in the face and said, “it is my favorite”. NO. It isn’t really anyone’s favorite, is it? I was looking at the face of deprivation, right? Someone explain tofu to me. Again. Please. This next Call wants to see the Face of Humanity, not necessarily of a tofu lover (assuming those really exist, ha). Investigate this opportunity…

a clean PLATE

I had to throw out everything in my fridge & freezer Sunday. Due to the wildfire, my house was without power for a week. My groceries stewed. It wasn’t pretty. But, in my effort to find a silver lining, I will admit that a clean refrigerator is liberating. Now it is slowing filling with mustard greens, pickled beets & craft beer against a stark white background. It is a whole new energy like this new Call. An art publication opportunity…

seaside FARE

I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the premiere food towns in the U.S. We were always proud of both the seafood & the fried chicken in the Holy City. And while Charleston-ians still have every reason to be proud of the fresh sea fare & deep-fried poultry, the food scene has developed as a shining example of the best of ALL things edible –French, Cajun, Greek & most other imaginable cuisines. The South isn’t just Southern, just like the jurors of this next Call. Investigate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract 3

Posted on November 6, 2016November 7, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD cubed

I recently attended an “abstract” dinner party. I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into, and that made me MORE eager to attend, ha. Upon arrival, I found that every dish was comprised of food cut in an identical manner. I couldn’t tell cubes of potato from turnip or cubes of yellow carrot from summer squash. From appetizer to entree to dessert, it was an evening of simple foods prepared with time-consuming precision. I was forced to savor the preparation and intent since nothing was representational of its original form. Abstract food. Fascinating. This next Call is all about the abstract as well. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

Posted on October 28, 2016October 29, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

goin’ BANANAS

The landscape of my kitchen counter is changing. My day is incomplete without fresh fruit. While the happy dance of the clementines begins soon, it is otherwise just the banana bunny hop for most of the winter. I find that most in-season winter produce is either not finger food (cranberries, pomegranates) and/or expensive (guava, kumquat, kiwi). So clementines & bananas still life it will be. This next Call invites you to create your own still life. Orange you glad? (sorry)

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature

Posted on August 20, 2016August 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

freckled FRUITAGE

Food imagery IS the visual brand of this site. For years, I used primarily pristine images of perfect foods on crisp, white, burned out backgrounds. But in the past couple of years, my strategy has changed. I have concerns about how many people, children specifically, don’t know what natural produce looks like. I’ve had many cashiers at the grocer offer to let me trade in a piece of organic fruit for something waxed, dyed & shiny for fear I was buying “bad” produce. Nature doesn’t care about symmetry, saturation or uniformity. This next Call wants your take on nature. Open to broad interpretation…

another shot of RED

Lamenting the end of red foods the other day, I completely forgot about rhubarb. The further South you live, the later in the season you can harvest rhubarb. It isn’t a common find at fresh markets in my area, or even at my grocer, in theory because it is a pain. It is disease resistant and hard to kill, but it requires a well-fed diet of compost and/or manure each year and SO MUCH watering. Nonetheless, I love rhubarb jam. Rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice. Simple, sweet & tart. Try it; you’ll love it. This next Call is looking for your red work, fruits & veggies are optional. Delicious…
