CALL for Entries: Still Life / Life Still

Learn more from Darkroom Gallery!ATE hours later

Cooking has moved into slow motion in my house.  As much as I want to hurry Spring along, I am reminded of our current Winter status by the icy wind that greets me at my front door each morning.  So, my slow cooker lives in a perpetual circuit from counter to refrigerator to sink to counter to refrigerator to sink–almost daily.  Tonight is lentil soup with bacon. This next Call wants to see what happens when life stills completely.  An intriguing take on a traditional form…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Still Life / Life Still. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror.  This theme leaves room for the traditionalist as well as those with a vastly different point of view. Take a look

Still Life / Life Still

The study of inanimate objects; subject matter, placement and compositional balance imply meaning that surmount everyday functionality.  Historically, a still life composition is an array of commonplace objects, inert and set in space.  These objects often include natural components such as plants, fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers accompanied by man made objects like dishes, boxes, mirrors and vases within an interior setting at eye level like a table top.  Darkroom Gallery wants to contextually explore the Still Life; some may take a traditional approach.  Others may see Still Life/Life Still as a vehicle to explore new artistic possibilities, in form, function or to convey political or emotive meanings.  Objects caught in their natural surroundings & documented on the fly can make just as poignant an image, i.e., Life Still.  — from darkroomgallery.com
