TUNA, LAMB & PIZZA
EVERYDAY
As much as I love food, I truly despise making the decision about what to eat meal after meal. And no one, except my 11 year old, will say what they really want to eat. My husband always wants fish, but he couches it in “I want something lighter, healthier.” I usually want something exotic or rich or covered in sauce, but I usually start with “why don’t we treat ourselves tonight?” But not my kid. What does he want for dinner? Pizza and Swiss Cake rolls. Every meal, everyday… just ask him. The juror for this next Call knows what he wants too. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries for the 2011 Juried Show from Sequim Arts. You can enter for as little as $15, and I’ve never read another prospectus where the juror gave such a clear explanation of what he is seeking through description of his own work. Take a look…

JUROR: Mike McCollum was born in Hoquiam, Washington but acquired many of his artistic sensibilities from the San Francisco Bay Area. “While at UC Berkeley I apprenticed with Peter Voulkos assisting him with 3 major outdoor sculptures.”
“Abstract expressionism is one of my primary influences and I am enamored with the idea of ‘arriving at’ rather than ‘aiming at.’ I want to surprise myself. My job as an artist is to make decisions–what to leave in and what to take out. I see art as a process of reduction–getting rid of the chaff and striving for the essence of the idea. In my career I have worked in many mediums — bronze, ceramics, drawing, painting, printmaking and wood. I start with a basic idea and then it’s a matter of rescuing that idea from all the contrived directions it may take me.”
