ARTIST of the DAY: Kristen Brown

Dissonant Frequencies (chalk pastel) by Kristen Brown

“I am interested in the idea of recollection & how time & moments can feel distorted if one fails to grab hold of any memory landmark.” —Kristen Brown

•

My grandmother lived with Alzheimer’s; her mother lived with Alzheimer’s.  Every lost memory scares the wits out of me. Logically, I know that wasting my lucid years worrying about a feared eventuality of non-lucidity is just the most stupid waste of a lifetime, but some days it gets the better of me.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kristen Brown, brought me to tears.  It is that blurred perception of reality, that soft focus of memories just out of reach that she captures so well.  Thanks for the perspective.

OPEN CALL: Greenshields Grant

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about available Artist Grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation!the deepest CUT

If you want to learn to cook well, I recommend starting with knives.  Every dish is made more difficult with a dull knife.  I had a brief affair with being a chef that put me in cooking school for a year.  The first thing I had to buy was a full set of very expensive knives.  (My mother had mine monogrammed. No kidding. SO embarrassing.)  Fear not, you can start with just a couple of not-so-expensive knives.  Everyone starts somewhere.  This next Call is looking to help artists just making their start.  Need funding?

Check out this Open Call from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation (Quebec, Canada) for Artist Grants.  No entry fee & a ongoing deadline makes this grant the perfect opportunity for students & beginning artists.  Take a look…

Learn more about the All Things Salmon exhibit from the Coos Art Museum!FOOD fight

Tuna & salmon are sometimes a person’s first introduction to food politics.  The “dolphin safe” label has been appearing on cans of tuna since the 1990s, helping consumers influence industry-wide changes in fishing methods. And, the wild vs. farmed salmon arguments continues to be hotly debated by nutritionists, chefs, foodies & environmentalists.  Contaminants vs. nutrition, sustainability vs. over-fishing or Atlantic vs. Pacific.  If you’re looking for a food fight, there’s always one to be had.  This next Call is all about salmon –no arguing required.  Take a look…

a SWEET treat

I’ve been hired to write a series of budget dessert recipes that encourage local, organic sourcing.  I try to limit my personal intake of sugar because I am so easily addicted.  As a result, I am struggling to balance the sweetness in these concoctions.  I don’t want to use artificial sweeteners.  Honey is a flavor, not a just a sweetener.  Stevia can come with a bitter aftertaste. Agave nectar has the same glycemic impact as a sugar, so why not just use sugar?  At what point is sweet just sweet?  This next Call is all about the sugar.  Take a look…
