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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Expo 36

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about Expo 36 from the b.j. spoke gallery!fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house.  We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers.  It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly.  When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers.  This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline.  Sorry about that…

Check out this Call for Entries from the b.j. spoke gallery (Huntington, NY) for Expo 36.  The deadline for this New York gallery show is just days away.  Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract 3

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about "Abstract 3" from Art-competition.net!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…

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?

You don’t have to wear a coconut brassiere to make food wearable. Coconut fiber, banana silk & pineapple leather are being used to create the latest and most fashionable textiles.  So, if Gaga’s meat dress isn’t your groove, try banana silk.  The next Call wants the wearable version of your art–from clothing to jewelry, but it doesn’t have to be edible. (Brownie points from me if it is, though.)  So, make it work…

"I wish I were with you" by textile artist Rosalind Wyatt
“I wish I were with you” by textile artist Rosalind Wyatt

________________

“My work is about words – the ‘sound’ of them, the ‘feel’ of them and the forming of letters.   The choice of tool is uninhibited and relevant to the content of the text – therefore my range of writing tools has expanded from nib, through to brush and now to a needle.” —Rosalind Wyatt, textile artist

__

Words have meanings; chose them carefully.  The repercussions can be irreversible.  The textile work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Rosalind Wyatt, investigates the emotion held within every individual mark of the hand to uncover the how each story “feels” as it unfolds.  Spectacularly intimate.

ARTIST of the DAY: Sue Hotchkis

beautiful EXISTENCE

I’ve been searching for the perfect new home. I have fallen in love with the most imperfect 10 acres.  Someone else out bid me because my budget is ridiculous.  Two weeks later, their contract dissolved.  I have a second day to hold the hope of imperfection in my heart. Fingers crossed.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Sue Hotchkis celebrates that same beauty.  My totem art for the day. (continues below)

Learn more about the fibre art of AAAD's Artist of the Day Sue Hotchkis!

 “…my work is texture and surface, strongly influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi. I seek out imperfection, in the insignificant and the overlooked, using a camera to freeze a moment in time, recording marks and surfaces that are in the process of breaking down, ephemeral, in a state of flux. ” —Sue Hotchkis

ARTIST of the DAY: Kathleen Probst

all the proof I NEED

The written word is my window to art.  The written word was my media before the visual or performing ever took hold. Today’s Artist of the Day, Kathleen Probst caught my attention with the simple pillcrow, a proofreader’s mark (¶).  I had never been presented with work that made me think of the mark in any other way.  Until now.  This is thoughtful, considered work. (continues below)

Alinea #14 by abstract textile artist Kathleen Probst
Alinea #14 by abstract textile artist Kathleen Probst

“The symbol for a new paragraph is called an ‘alinea’. It is a french word. One definition of the word alinea is a new train of thought. This design concept is not about holding back, it is about finding just the right amount.  Alinea searches for answers on my quest for simplicity. The gestural lines of Alinea are becoming more organic as I learn to work with them, each making a bold step forward.”
