CULINARY tour

I spent 15 days on vacation –one week in Arizona, one week in New Mexico.  Adjusting to the elevation was no joke. I’ve spent most of my life living at or around sea level.  My homes for the past 10 years have been at around 2000 feet in elevation near the base of the Great Smoky Mountains.  Bisbee, AZ has an elevation of approx 5500 feet and Silver City, NM has an elevation of 5800 feet, both higher than Denver, CO.  Plus, Bisbee is known as the city of 1000 steps.  We hear you get used to it after 3 weeks, but we only had two.  We survived, but it was eye-opening.  On an unrelated note, I think we took as many bites of food as we did steps.  That’s a lot of forks folks.  We’ve decided to start calling our vacations “culinary tours”.  It seems more purposeful, less gluttonous, ha.

Now that I’m back, I am hard at work planning my year, including a residency (or three), a solo show, some juried shows, some invitationals.  I have some announcements, but we’ll save those for another day.  I am also looking to expand my “comfort” galleries to new areas.  You know those galleries that you show in time and time again because you like the people, you like the space, you like the curation, you like the sales.  You’re comfortable.  I have a handful of those, but I am always looking to freshen my resume.  This next call is a great way to try on a new gallery or, if you’ve shown at Las Laguna Gallery before, continue to develop that relationship.  Take a look.

CALL for ENTRIES: Animalz 2020

a sleepy SIP

Ginger ale has offered me clarity, of sorts.  As a 40-year insominiac, I have tried everything from warm milk to herbal remedies and tryptophan-laden foods to no avail.  For the last few years my only manner of sleep has been pharmaceutical, taken in half-doses to fend off side effects.  But in the end, long term use of sleep aids has side effects, the worst has been fogginess & some memory loss.  Six weeks ago, I started taking a double-strength, full spectrum CBD oil.  It took 5 days to build up in my system before I started magically falling asleep in 15 minutes instead of 3+ hours.  The pros a gentle lifting of my fog; I can hear the birds’ chatter outside my studio window again, even with this morning’s snowfall.  I am experiencing a gradual but noticeable improvement in my day to day memory which makes working in series flow easier. I am getting nearly twice as much sleep per night, on average, as I have since I was in elementary school.  The cons?  The taste of CBD oil. Ginger ale has ridden to the rescue and is an easy and obvious trade for chirping birds and living color.  What trade will you make?

With my newly-found sleep has come reduced anxiety surrounding my trajectory as an artist.  I know the paths, where they converge, where they change priority, if you’ll let them.  I cannot say this often enough.  Enter the shows that serve you.  Use them to determine your audience, test your narrative and create your own story.  The creative process will serve you if you let it.  This next Call is for a small gallery in California with a prolific show history and a straightforward curatorial approach.  Does this show offer an outlet that serves your work?  Investigate.

this is how we STEW IT

I making stew in the slow cooker today. *cues the Fall music*  Like clockwork, soups and stews suddenly appear several times a week once the temperature outside drops 10 or 15 degrees.  Old habits die hard, and I have no motivation to change this one since it only leads to easier dinners and more studio time.  Other habits are worth changing though.  Late night snacking has to stop (for me), and breakfast has got to get less boring.  What norms do you want to change?

My studio habits are already on the move. I have been slowly shifting my work toward the studio work that will be my future.  I’ve worked hard to change my thinking about the expected artist career arc, and the effect I allow the perception of others to have on my work.  It started with a media change and progressed to extricating myself from multiple arts organizations that were all take and no give.  It has now moved to considering opportunites based on desired outcomes versus how I feel about entering.  I will still enter shows whose themes excite me, but I am better equipped to say “no” to shows that don’t serve my purposes.

With that process in mind, I am breaking another of my rules by publishing two calls in one post.  They both come from the same gallery, Limner, that has a long curatorial and sales history to be dissected and interpreted by you.  But these opportunities couldn’t be more different.  One show is a more traditional juried show with standard risk, fees & commission with the possibility of a bonus publication award.  The other show is a lightly juried, retail-oriented show that has no entry fee, but front loads the risk of no sales onto you with a hanging fee.  The commission skews sightly less as the pieces get more expensive.  Depending where you are in your career and what your current goals are, one or both of these shows can work for you.  But you have to do the work to figure it out.  No more auto-pilot.  Let’s make that next year’s theme… no more auto-pilot.

These calls cover a wide spectrum of show options in one place.  Check out these Calls for Entries from Slow Art Productions for Emerging Artists and Holiday Smallworks at the Limner Gallery (Hudson, NY). $35 & 35% for the Emerging Artist show.  No entry fee & 35% after the first $100 on the Holiday Smallworks show.  Both are open to all media and all artists.  Carefully examine these opportunities…

GREEN me up

I’ve always had a hankering for a rainbow assortment of foods, but my personal aesthetic has skewed black and white over the years.  I was the kid that wore black, my work concentrated on black and white images for nearly 20 years.  About 2 1/2 years ago, my work shifted, and color began to seep into what I had to say.  Once the dam sprung a leak, the flood waters came.  I did a complete media shift with more color than I can describe, occasionally venturing into neon territory.  Then I spent a month in Scotland.  I took all black clothing with a few colorful scarves and accessories just to simplify packing… 

But, Scotland.  It was awash with the most spectacular light, even when it was overcast.  My lasting impression is of vivid blues and greens.  My clothing became an issue.  I felt like I was wearing a black hole.  When my plane touched down in the U.S. again, one of my first stops was to buy a colorful shirt because I just couldn’t take the black anymore.  This next Call is all about color, and I have the perfect work to submit.  How about you?

future FOOD

Netflix & popcorn nights have accompanied my new revelation… the phrase “I had no choice” may be the most commonly uttered line written for television. We always have a choice.  The choice may be unthinkable, unspeakable and emotionally-devasting, but it is still a choice.  I have made glorious choices and horrific ones.  Those choices have allowed me to follow my heart and have fueled my creativity, but they have also created an unsustainable physical reality for me.  My body is betraying me; I’m not terminal, just infuriatingly chronic.

I have created bodies of work surounding how our bodies betray us.  But really, I made many of the choices.  So, thanks to Netflix #jokingnotjoking I am making new choices.  I am trying to gently strengthen my body and make healthier food choices.  Trying.  I love my life, and I’ve come to love the physicality of the figure I inhabit, so it is time to fight to keep it.  I’m not having a mid-life crisis or looking for immortality, I just want a chance to have a productive future.  I don’t think kale or avocado are miracle cures, but clean food & more movement have to be a start. Like I said, trying.

This next Call wants your figurative work, whatever your take.  Are you fighting for a figure?  Your own? Another’s?  Check out this Call for Entries from Slow Art Productions for Strange Figurations at the Limner Gallery (Hudson, NY). $35 entry, 35% commission, open to all media and all artists.  Take a look…

lost in TRANSLATION

It is no secret that I’m a little, well, let’s call it cheese “focused”. But we all have our priorities.  After being seperated by an ocean for 4 weeks, my husband and I stopped by a local dairy farm less than 24 hours after reunited… to buy cheese. Priorities.  Cheese glorious cheese.  A few days later, I made summer squash au gratin also known as “squash makes all the melted cheese a legitimate choice”, au gratin for short.  Melted cheese means I’m home, ha.  Think of it as my oven’s welcome mat. It is the best kind of meltdown.

I have been known to indulge in an epic meltdown of a personal nature on occasion.  The last U.S. presidential election put me in an ugly place for weeks.  Every insuing attack on civil rights, environmental regulations, access to health insurance & the ability to govern the workings of my own body have warranted their own meltdowns.  My work has changed.  My life has changed.  I worry about becoming numb to the suffering of others, to the loss of agency, to the restrictions on the ability to speak freely.  Where is this planet’s population headed?  While I was in Scotland recently, I was regularly engaged by locals about American politics.  People want to understand what is going on in the United States.  I couldn’t explain.  I can’t explain.  So, I just keep working.  Right now, THAT is what I can do. 

This next Call in interested wants to see how your work reflects a sense of meltdown, whatever your interpretation.  What do you have to say?  Could this be the place for you to say it?  Check out this Call for Entries from Slow Art Productions for Meltdown at the Limner Gallery (Hudson, NY). $35 entry, 35% commission, open to all media and all artists.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Content Matters

Learn more about the Content Matters Call from Marin MOCA

SPRING greens

It is time for my seasonal obsession with ginger. I love ginger all of the time; however, about 4 to 6 weeks at the beginning of Spring, I am obsessed.  I find ways to work it into every salad, entree & dessert.  My family just smiles & nods, knowing that the ship will right itself soon.  I think it happens because the weather has just warmed up enought to inspire thoughts of light and fresh fare, but our local harvest hasn’t quite made it to summertime bounty yet.  High-quality ginger is available year ’round, and content matters.

This next Call has a deadline just around the corner (sorry for that), and it meets my resume criteria for this year (museums, publicly-funded galleries, collections or libraries).  But the theme of “Content Matters” is what really pushed me to want to enter — achingly relevant. I am finishing a piece now that I think would be perfect, but, you know… jurors.  We’ll see.  If you are interested in a museum show and have work to offer, take a look at the details.

Check out this Call for Entries from Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (Novato, CA) for Content Matters.  $35 entry, 40% commission.  Delivery is nearly a month after notification, making shipping easier. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Loss, Redemption & Grace

Learn more abou the Loss Redemption and Grace show from EBD4!

I’ll take the PIE to go

There are a lot of customs surrounding death & food.  Most people are familiar with people trying to feed the living by bringing the ubiquitous casserole to the living, but I’ve recently learned that many cultures feed the dead by leaving food on graves, from leaving a pie on the gravestone at Easter to pouring wine on the burial site.  I don’t have a real understanding of the symbolism (if you do, LMK) behind the traditions, but I love the love it takes to want to feed someone pie and wine, even after death. THAT is devotion.

My work has centered around human bones for a while now.  Bones indicate a pattern for me, both for the living and the lost.  I prowl cemeteries with a sense of joy, not mourning.  Gravestones are monuments for the living of the best in those no longer able to create new memories.  They are, without doubt, often erected out of obligation, but even in obligation, they document a lifespan as an accomplishment, no matter how brief.  If they include additional details, they are rare ugly, even if the truth is ugly.  This next Call speaks to me because if offers the opportunity to react to loss from a place of truth, not obligation or memorialization. I am also excited about an open opportunity in Atlanta, a rarity.

Check out this Call for Entries from EBD4 (Atlanta, GA) for Loss, Grace & Redemption.  $40 Entry & 50% commission.  The jurors are researchable, and this venue offers a rare Atlanta opportunity.  Take a look…

a-PEELING

My mother doesn’t own a vegetable peeler.  Well, didn’t.  While I have the benefit of a knife skills class in culinary school, I am not great a peeling vegetables.  I can tourne a potato, but if I peel potatoes for mash, you’d better hope I have a vegetable peeler… or a LOT of potatoes.  When my mother requested vegetable soup over the holidays, I refused unless she let me buy a peeler.  She agreed with disdain, and I spent $3 on the most generic “Domestix” variety available at the local grocer. CHANGED MY LIFE, well, my cooking anyway.  With one swoop across a potato, I realized how dull my home peeler was.  I put the gadget on my holiday list, and it showed up under the tree.   Suddenly I have zucchini ribbons in salad & shaved carrots in my coleslaw.  The possibilities are wide open, ha.

I’ve done the same with paint recently.  I had access to some more highly pigmented tube watercolors recently, and it affected my approach to the work I did with them.  My nature is to “make do” with what I have.  It is taught as a virtue in the South.  Don’t get me started on all the evils of making do.  It is a mindset meant to make children grateful for what they have, but it often squashes ambition and self-value in adults.  That mindset combined with all the guilt I have associated with spending money, has kept me “making do” with some watercolors that are not working for me.  Now when I finish a tube that doesn’t behave in a way that serves my work, I re-order that hue or something similar from a different maker.  I am exploring variations & dispersal patterns & saturation unknown.  The adventure has left me open to the possibilities.  Vegetable peeler & watercolors. Variations on a theme. 

This next Call is also looking for variations on the theme of “Wide Open”.  BWAC is one of my favorite venues, known for great jurors, reliable curatorial vision, a non-profit format & even artist run.  Interested? Then check out this Call for Entries from BWAC (Brooklyn, NY) for Wide Open 10.  There is a distinct discount for early entry, so don’t delay. Take a look…

celebratory EDIBLES

Do you make food resolutions?  No, I don’t mean diets.  Do you make promises to eat healthier or cleaner?  Or maybe to cut some food that makes you itchy, grouchy or gas-y?  Yeah, me neither.  Not anymore.  My eating habits go with the flow.  I eat a lot of whole, fresh foods, punctuated by occasional, terribly-crappy junk food, and it seems to work for me, ha.  This year, I am resolved to drink more bubbly.  I love Prosecco.  I like the sense of celebration, and I want to spend more time celebrating the little stuff.  What is your go-to drinkable or edible celebratory treat?  Chocolate? Guac?  Join me for my year of Yay!  We deserve it.

My last major change was the abandoning of all dairy except whole milk options, and a complete, mid-career left turn in mediaYikes.  Until my change of media a couple of years ago, I was working, almost exclusively, as a xerographist.  There is no Xerography Association, locally, nationally or internationally, to my knowledge.  So, I never had the ability to take advantage of media-specific membership.  Now that I am a watercolorist, I have more options.  However, because I embroider over my paintings, my work is typically considered mixed media by painters and painting by fiber artists.  I’m not sure if I’ll ever find a watercolor or fiber art society to call home.  Do you have a media association that you love?  

One of the benefits of association shows is the prestige.  Because they are almost always juried by working master artists, the recognition of your work is meant to be a stamp of approval on your dedication to developing your skills, plus, they often have large cash prizes.  There are frequently multiple show opportunities throughout the year as well as educational & critique options that can’t be found anywhere else.  THOSE are all great arguments for the next Call, but I’m not an oil painter.  If you are, this is a great show.
