I have a milestone birthday on the horizon, and I am curious whether my cake will be a reflection of my obsession with food, art or shoes (assuming my wonderful husband thinks to get me a cake).   My shoe obsession is widely known (and often ridiculed) locally, but only time will tell about whether it will show up as a cake theme.  Check out this Jimmy Choo Cake from Truly Scrumptious.

I love the art of the secret ingredient.  I long to have someone taste a dish I have created and wonder, “What IS that flavor?”  I like it when you take a completely ordinary dish like mashed potatoes and add an unexpected dash of dry mustard that leaves people wondering.  It is food that creates its own dinner conversation–the ultimate compliment. This next Call wants to see your your audience ponder the mysteries of your work.  Can you stump them?

Secrets and Mysteries

 

If your audience is standing indefinitely motionless, entranced by the possibilities in your work and in devising an infinitude of scenarios and alternate endings, then you’ve made an image that will inspire gallery visitors with the beauty of ambiguity, mystery and perplexity.

Photographers created images that baffled the viewer as early at the 1860s; Henry Peach Robinson was a pioneer of combination printing, creating the illusory photo montage long before there was Photoshop.  Darkroom Gallery wants to see your images that lead the imagination to the edge, encouraging the mind to leap.  Multiple exposures, constructions, staged, anything goes, just leave them guessing.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

SUCCESS

Like many of you, I frequently “wing it” in the kitchen. I like the idea of cooking with whatever you have on hand and making adjustments according to taste along the way. However, while editing a recipe for a friend recently, I realized there is a certain comfort in knowing the exact amount of salt to put in the potatoes.  There is comfort in not guessing the temperature or constantly checking the oven to see if your famous apple pie is ready. Take comfort in the fact that this Call is a well-established show with lots of room for research. Time to create your own recipe…

There is a point at which loving food turns into a food obsession. I am self-aware enough to know that I have long passed that point.  I cannot simply EAT anything.   Eating requires dissection and discussion before digestion.  Dinner is often cold by the time it is eaten fully.  Likewise, I meet emerging artists simply obsessed with conquering their first solo show.  This next call will require your own dissection and discussion before digestion. Bon appetite…
