CALL for ENTRIES: 53rd Annual Juried

gelatinous
CULTURE

Mayhaw jelly is the gift that keeps giving. I appreciate receiving foods from all over the U.S., but often those foods aren’t necessarily native to an area — just popular there. But, the mayhaw berry is native to the wetlands, so every time I receive a Louisiana batch, I am transported back to a place I love. You can keep the beignets; just pass the jelly. This next Call hails from Louisiana too and is just as special. Take a look…

a lid for
EVERY POT

One of the most valuable lessons of culinary school was stock-making. It is the building block of many of my kitchen masterpieces. My standard includes chicken, water, celery, carrot, onion, black peppercorns, garlic & parsley. When I stray from the standards, it is a choice.

CALL for ENTRIES: Downeast

Posted on January 15, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

EAST WEST
food divide

Food, like language & art, is often just a matter of perspective. When I say Eastern food, does that conjure images of Chinese take out or Carolina BBQ? Does Western food conjure images of Tex-Mex or a California roll? It is all perspective For the record, MY answers would be BBQ & sushi. To be clear, this next “Downeast” Call refers to the Carolina, but it is open to everyone. And, now I want BBQ. Pick me up some pulled pork if you go to the opening. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Colour Burst

Posted on January 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

JUST SAY NO
the brown has gotta go

I’m growing weary of brown foods. We don’t often fry anything in our house, and we don’t eat wheat. But, because we try our very best not to eat processed or artificially-colored food, the color in our diets almost solely depends on fresh vegetables. There isn’t an abundance of beautifully colored veggies in season right now. And, I can only eat so many servings of spinach and so many servings of sweet potatoes. Bring on the beets, please. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. I know it is. In the meantime, lets all direct our rainbow-coloured desires to this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines

Posted on January 4, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

LINING UP
for dinner

As linear foods go, I make a mean grilled eggplant lasagna. I don’t usually fall for the layered foods like 7-layer dips and trifles, but lasagna is the exception. Most people are replacing the meat when they use eggplant in lasagna, I’m really replacing the noodles. While I can find wheat-less pasta of most types, lasagna noodles have eluded me. So, eggplant makes a gorgeous replacement. I make it in a glass plan just to get the composition perfect. Ridiculous. This next Call is a far better use of a line obsession. Take a look…

Lines

Lines are powerful compositional elements that control the way eyes move through an image. The effect that lines have on an image varies.

Whereas vertical lines convey a sense of strength, height, integrity, solidity, dominance, power, peace & tranquility, substance or permanence. This Call is for images that utilize lines in innovative and dynamic ways. — from darkroomgallery.com

TRUTH

Iowa = Corn. I have no doubt Iowans are justifiably proud of their corn. But, I could not BELIEVE they reintroduced my favorite food with a twist –Caprese Salad on a Stick. The Iowa State Fair debuted this genius idea in 2014. How did I miss this one? I ended up using it at my own art opening less than a month later. This next Call is another reasons Iowans should be proud. Investigate this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Flowers, Plants & Gardens

Posted on December 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sweet or
SOUR?

I dream of lemons & olives–and corn, of course. While dreaming of my future garden, I am excited at the prospect of growing non-GMO corn. But, I also have fantasies of the produce I love most like lemons and olives, neither of which is native to my climate. Is it just enormous hubris on my part to believe that if I try to grow them in a walipini that they will automatically surpass the quality of the native-grown varieties that I buy after their long trip to my local grocery store? What is it about humans that makes us want to manipulate plants? This next Call wants to see how you successfully manipulate plants in your art. Take a look…

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. This is a beautiful idea…
