CALL for ENTRIES: Fight or Flight

Posted on March 3, 2017March 2, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD anyone?

I received more “why food?” inquiries this week. Because. That’s the short answer. Specifically I had someone to challenge the relevancy of a food theme with all that is going on politically in the U.S. Long Answer, well, food IS political, and global. (Reminder, the world is larger than the U.S.) Regulations governing food safety couldn’t be more political. Quinoa and milk and coffee and avocados, political. Choosing the source of your food and having confidence the quality of your options is all about politics and privilege. I love food. AAAD will continue to celebrate food. We all grow and buy and cook and serve in reaction to our experiences of the world around us. We act and react, indulge and temper, daily. This next Call wants your reaction to current events. Take a look…

“Looking back to specific artists’ reactions to unsettled times, there are Picasso’s Guernica & Gerhard Richter’s cycle of paintings October 18, 1977. On the other hand, Matisse created his joyful collaged paper cutouts for his Jazz series during World War II in France, and Jackson Pollock’s poured paintings were created in the 1950s during the McCarthy era. Creativity can feed off the inspiration of current events and/or a personal vision. We are looking for artists’ responses to these times in which we live, in 2017.” –thepaintingcenter.org

GREENS are the new black

The greens are emerging. Many of you know that I live in Gatlinburg and wildfires recently swept the area. Firefighters stopped the fire a mere 6′ from my doorstep. The forest surround my home is charred. But all of this unseasonably warm February weather (76°F today) has prompted the most tender of green leaves and unexpected happy daffodil heads to appear. It is just another reminder that Spring is around the corner bringing with it the soft first lettuce leaves. I can’t wait. This next Call is in search of emerging artists; lettuce need not apply. Take a look…

medical EDIBLE florals

Lavender infused whipped cream is a favorite treat in my house. But at the moment, I am growing lavender in a window sill for my husband’s head. The weather has been so beautiful that I’ve been leaving the doors open without benefit of screen doors, and every night mosquitoes make a meal of Jon’s forehead. Lavender is both a sleep-inducing aromatic and a mosquito repellent. So, homemade lavender-infused coconut oil is my medicinal hope for continuing to enjoy open doors. This next Call wants your perspective on health & medicine, but it doesn’t have to be edible. Plus, free entry…

I couldn’t sell anyone on rice as a side dish at my house this week. But to avoid another trip to the grocery, I had to sneak it in chicken casseroles, veggie spring rolls and sausage gumbo.

taking WHISKS

Recipes are sort of like guide books for me. I have no interest in doing exactly what they say, but they are a great jumping-off point. There are exceptions, thousands of them. See “baking”. Baking is a science. Baklava, croissant, sourdough, layer cakes–making them is either complicated or at the very least time-consuming, but the pay off is HUGE. This next Call is like that. There are a LOT of details, so read the prospectus in full, but the pay of is huge. First prize is $120,000, and it isn’t limited to representational work. Take a look at this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Seeing Blue

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….
