ARTIST of the DAY: Elizabeth White

“In view of the current economic disasters, political conditions, military actions & climate or earth changes I see immigration as the new normal.  What may be them today is us tomorrow.” — Elizabeth White

•

Many people spend a lifetime without ever having to consider the need to emigrate from their homeland.  Many others spend their lives learning what it means to always be an immigrant, never feeling quite at home.  And then there are others, never quite at home regardless of where they are.  When I saw the “Migration” installation by today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Elizabeth White, I marveled at the simple symbolism of leaves separated from their roots.  It is precisely how many of us feel, like leaves strewn about, seemingly at random.  Disconnected.

CALL for ENTRIES: Fairies in the Garden

My grandmother loved fairy food.  She would boil sugar and vinegar together for what felt like forever (15 minutes) and then add baking soda at the last minute.  Magically, it seemed, the concoction would turn almost orange.  Once cooled, it had this beautifully buttery flavor.  Sugar + vinegar = fairy food.  Try it.  In the meantime, this next Call is all about the fairies.  Maybe a fairy kitchen?  This one is creative fun…

I miss fish.  I live in a land-locked state; therefore saltwater fish are expensive if you can even find it fresh.  I love the abundant mountain trout, but a simple grilled flounder or grouper is just a dream.  If you can find no other reason to visit Florida, let me recommend the fish –and this next call.  Take a look at this one…

Peace DOES have a flavor.  In my house the flavor of peace is macaroni and cheese for my kid with eggs benedict for me and occasional pumpkin pancakes to seal the deal for my husband.  We all have a price, and food is always the answer in my house. THAT explains why the sizes in my closet range a 5 size span, ha.  This next Call is peaceful or full of peace or built on peace.  I could write puns for another few lines, but I digress.  Take a look for yourself…

I take issues with imposed or even implied limits… even when I shouldn’t.  And, thanks to my food obsession, you won’t be surprised to learn that my weight has gone rather up and not so much down over the years.  I can’t just love art and food and food-themed art.  Oh no, I’d even love to wear art and food (like the dress in this Sarah Illenberger photo pictured left).  Sign me up.  Now.  If you refuse to accept limits, this call is a chance to stretch your talents to include public art AND sculpture.  Give it a shot…
