“What are you doing this weekend?” Kellee Mayfield

I am having a tough day, not horrible, not life-altering, just tough.  My mind is elsewhere, and I’m kinda wishing my body were too.  Because it is a quiet day in the studio (code for I’m too tired & unmotivated to work), I decided to do a little paperwork, jot down some notes about some ideas that I can’t shake & scroll through Instagram hoping not to lose a half a day.  

I came across today’s Artist of the Day, Kellee Mayfield‘s Insta feed, and almost every post that I clicked said, “What are you doing this weekend?”.  I found somewhere else to be, Chateau d’Orquevaux, a French artist residency, to be precise.  Mayfield spent some time there in the Fall and completed this series of work that transported me.  There’s a food to her Insta feed with which many AAAD will appreciate as well.  So, consider this my invitation to share… what are YOU doing this week?

While I always want to visit an artist’s website, I am sending you to her Insta feed @deltamoxie to give you the same glimpse that gave me the boost my weekend needed. 

Thanks to AAAD Artist of the Day, Kellee Mayfield for the trip to Chateau d’Orquevaux!

for the love of DAIRY

I did NOT eat haggis in Scotland while in residency.  No one offered it to me.  It wasn’t on any menu that I saw.  No one suggested that I should make or order it –except every person I know in the United States, ha. I did, however, give in to hot tea, drink liter after liter of unhomoginized, “gently pasteurized” local milk and ate a shameful number of all-butter Scottish shortbread biscuits.  I ate boatloads of Dutch gouda and an embarrassing amount of brie from the local cheese shop.  And the spinach quiche and sun-dried tomato bread from the local bakery was sinful.  You do Scotland your way, I did it mine.  The biggest news is how I approached my work differently…

I went to another continent, worked 80+ hours a week and came home with three small pieces of completed work.  I spent 8 solid hours of work on an area the size of a silver dollar.   I could NEVER do that at my home studio uninterrupted.  I spent thirty hours over 3 days working & re-working a 2″ x 4″ section of stitching. I could NEVER do that at my home studio without massive frustration.  Residency is the hardest thing to do.  It is undistracted, unobstructed time to experiment and succeed and fail without excuse (that’s the hard part).  Residency time is priceless.  THIS residency is a working residency that requires working with the public on a project.  If it lights you up, if you can envision the project and can’t wait to get started, please don’t miss this chance.  Don’t let doubt or all the things you think you need to be get in the way.  Just submit the project.  Don’t worry about what happens if they say “yes” or if they say “no”.  Take the chance because it could change the course of how you work and of how you approach your work forever.  

Check out this Call for Submissions from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for 2019 Summer Residency. There is no entry fee, plus there is a stipend, project funding, housing and more.  This is one of those rare opportunities.  Please investigate to see if it is the right fit for you…

Residencies are meant to focus on community arts projects; those that merge arts and the environment are particularly desirable. ” –from annmariegarden.org

JELLY much?

Why do we always want what we cannot have?  Deprivation drives some people mad.  I am not being deprived; I’m just stubborn.  It is a control issue.  The food at my residency is phenomenal cuisine offered in a beautiful setting.  I have eaten every manner of velouté, terrine & and savory foam imaginable, but I am currently craving a PB&J and banana pudding, separately of course.  Ridiculous.  This next Call is for a residency that does not provide meals, so you are welcome to eat all the junk food you can stand, ha.  Take a look…

pie or TAART

When I was a child, my grandmother would occasionally bake a special dessert and exclaim, “as American as apple pie” when she would deliver it to the table. I’m not sure why, just an odd familial colloquialism I suppose.  But apple pie certainly isn’t an American original.  The Dutch have recorded recipes for apple pie dating back to 1514.  An appeltaart is a deep pie with a pastry top and bottom.  It’s filled with a apple, sugar, cinnamon & lemon juice and sometimes raisins or currants.  Now, I’m hungry.  This next Call is for a residency in The Netherlands.  It is as Dutch as apple pie. *snicker*  Take a look…

COOKING by the book

Why do we never hear about cooking therapy?  Art therapy is an accepted practice, but I’m not sure it is about art.  It is about process.  I think that any practice about which you’re passionate that requires repetition holds the opportunity to offer a meditative or therapeutic value.  So break out your cookbooks and try a recipe outside your skill level.  The next Call offers you time to hone your art practice.  Take a look…

I dropped out of culinary school half way through.  It occurred to me as I was practicing a particularly complicated knife skill one Friday night that I didn’t want to live and work and eat all in the same place.  My attention span is too short to have stuck with it.  The irony that my life now revolves around food in many ways isn’t lost on me.  This next Call offers you an opportunity to have it all, have it in one place, and have it FREE.  Not kidding…

Over the past seven years Art&ArtDeadlines.com has evolved.  If you haven’t been with us from the beginning, just assume we’ve always been this fabulous.  But if you’ve been reading for 5+ years, well, we’re happy to have had a witness to the transformation.  The fundamental change from rambling, long posts to shorter posts in standard formatting came somewhere around year two, followed quickly by changes to color and imagery.  Last year the branding got more consistent, and the pics grew in size.

Even my taste in food has changed over time.

This year we have begun to follow through on the art portion of Art&ArtDeadlines.com with the #artistoftheday posts, but we still have a lot of work to do.  And the next step is offering additional resources for professional development like grants, purchase awards and residencies –maybe even a guest post or two.

If you want to help, we welcome your suggestions, need your re-posts & shares.  What do YOU need?  On a more personal note, I would welcome your feedback & support.  Seven years is a long time to post opportunities, and the payoffs have been huge on a personal level.  The artists and jurors and gallerists that I have have come to know and love and count amongst my friends and peers remains the biggest and most unexpected gift.  Thank you.  If we don’t know each other, comment or message or email me.  Say hello.  I’m here for, fingers-crossed, years to come.
