Artist of the Day: Sima Schloss

Posted on August 30, 2017August 30, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

“Perhaps we never know someone until we see them
in love, despair or in danger.” —Sima Schloss

•

At times I feel my life is laid bare before the world. Because I don’t have faith in the existence of privacy and an excessive desire to control my surroundings, I have beaten everyone to the punch. I have revealed almost everything to be known about me. Those few crumbs I have kept for myself are dark corners best left unexamined by most. But if Sima Schloss, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, is right about love, despair & danger, I have nowhere to hide. I am oddly relieved. What are you not trying to hide?

CALL for ENTRIES: The Sketchbook Project

Posted on December 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HERRING
pickled, not red

My pantry is a library of food fads and favorites. You’ll find canned tomatoes from my mother (necessary to all of my favorite dishes) and high-fat coconut milk (necessary to all quiet indulgences). Then there is the the fruit cocktail, quince marmalade, pickled herring, kimchi, a jar of black lime & a few dried apricots left over from some food obsession or experiment that either went awry or with which I got bored. I can’t bring myself to get rid of the non-expired food no matter how random because they occasionally inspire genius. This next Call displays the beauty of collecting and sometimes inspires genius.

CALL for ENTRIES: Paper Cuts

Posted on March 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

I’M HUNGRY
pass the paper

Would you eat something with no nutritional value just for the sake of eating if you could? I LOVE to eat, but I’m not sure how much I would love it if I didn’t think even the most indulgent of desserts was secretly fueling my ability to live. For example, would you eat a snack if it tasted great but happen to be made of paper? Not rice paper, not seaweed paper–PAPER paper. Check out Slim Chips–interesting experiment. This next Call strikes me as a much better use of paper. Take a look…

FISHY

I live in a town with a population of approximately 3500. We have 1 zip code & area code, 1 post office, and…one grocery store. Luckily, the popularity of my hometown with tourists affords a few luxuries like a recently renovated produce and seafood section in our lone grocery store. I bought salmon there last week, and it came wrapped in paper. Paper. Lovely. Thank you for not adding another piece of plastic wrap to my grocery cart. There is a time and place for paper, and this next Call would be another of them. Take a look…

PEARLS
not onions

I would, on occasion, gladly work for food, but did you know that the Egyptians that built the pyramids were often paid with beer, bread and onions. I don’t think so; not this girl. As I have previously mention, I’m not a beer kinda girl, and as much as I love bread, a girl cannot live by bread and onions alone. This next Call’s fee cannot be paid in bread and onions, but it is Pyramid inspired. Investigate…

PAPER
COOKIES?

In one of my fantasy lives, I am a cake, cookie and pastry decorator. I know it isn’t going to happen, but it is a great day dream. I am intrigued by edible printing paper, but I’ll leave using it to the professionals. These German-made Qkies would be a great promotional item for AAAD. This next call wants your work on paper, but I don’t think they meant edible paper. Investigate…
