ARTIST of the DAY: Emilyann Gachko

“Ken” (photograph) by Emilyann Gachko

At least once per day, my husband and I have an interaction that results in my saying, “Never die. I can’t date again.”  It is usually some bizarre, embarrassing action or phrase or conversation that reveals a level of intimacy that feels abnormal.  We are a metaphorical three-legged monster –connected at the hip.  And while I am grateful, I can also recognize it for the freakish co-dependence that it is.

“Don’t force me to change, but let me change, you know?“
–Ken as interviewed by Emilyann Gachko

______________

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Emilyann Gachko has taken on a sort of documentary process of the personalities of internet dating.  She puts a human, humane face on the people who find themselves looking for a life partner.  The project is just beginning, but I was intrigued enough to read every entry so far.  I still have no interest in dating again, but “Love, Me” has made me realize that people looking for love are just like me.  Shared experience and needs and desires build tolerance.  Tolerance is good.

300 miles from home, and we each wanted a salad on the go.  Google sent me in the direction of a grocery store on the next exit with a huge salad bar.  I came out with a traditional pile of mixed greens, spring peas, boiled eggs, carrots & cucumbers.  My husband came out with segregated little piles of beets, broccoli florets, roasted tomatoes & olives, a wonder of little bites not unlike antipasto.  Two schools of thought, equally valid.  This next Call simply requires a school.  Great exhibitions space…

ARTIST of the DAY: Brooks Salzwedel

"You Never" (graphite) by Brooks Salzwedel
“You Never…” (graphite) by Brooks Salzwedel

I have been struggling with identity lately, struggling to find my voice again –both metaphorically & literally.  Art is supposed to evoke emotion, possibly incite action.  Added to the experience of the audience, art can evolve, change stories and inspire change for the better, or worse.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Brooks Salzwedel feels intimate, makes me feel vulnerable, maybe a little paranoid.  This organic drawing nestled in a foreign shrine are seemingly devoid of connection, sans proximity.  But, then again, ‘you never’ know what another person battles.

I spent another week eating & working on the road.  I am a grazer, always snacking on something whether I am home or on the road.  Most of my work gets done in a hotel room or in the car during night drives, but this week I spent hours in a coffee shop.  Ewwww.  The yuck didn’t come from the coffee or the fantastic lunch I had.  It came from my laptop.  Gross.  Who do I call to decontaminate my work space?  The fluorescent lighting in the coffee shop highlighted every crumb, splotch & speck.  This next Call wants your view on technology & nature (not necessarily food).  Take a look…

"Production of Belonging #1" & "Production of Belonging #2" (collaged acrylic on paper) by Dana Hargrove
“Production of Belonging #1 & #2” (collaged acrylic on paper) by Dana Hargrove

“As we traverse the land, we may find our search for utopia
leads us on a journey that offers, on the surface, little more
than a façade of our ideals.” —Dana Hargrove

After another week on the road, it is easy for me to begin to see patterns in the towns through which I drive — aspects of the constructs that seem to reflect back the personality of the town, be they real or fabricated. Imagine my delight to find the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Dana Hargrove.  I invite you to take the time to investigate more of Dana’s work and her exploration of this concept.

“Veils 4” & “At the Gates 5” by Elise Wehle

“Making art makes me conscious of my hands again, and all
of my work requires time-intensive, redundant
movements that remind me that not everything is as
instantaneous as a click of a mouse.” –Elise Wehle

______________

I get her, this artist. The meticulous work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Elise Wehle combines meticulous hand-cut detail with patient composition, creating lush portraits and landscapes that make me long for travel and vacation.  Art’s truest purpose is to evoke emotion & prompt action.  Where does this work transport you?

I was born in Florida & spent the majority of my first 5 years there. We had a grapefruit tree in our yard.  But, I can’t remember having so much as a wedge of an orange to eat.  I do remember drinking lots of Tang though.  Odd.  Was my childhood plagued by foods expertly marketed to my single father, or is my recollection just not of those specific memories? Not even a wedge?  How is that possible.  This next Call wants YOUR childhood images. (Oranges not required).  Take a look…

Childhood
from L.A. Photo Curator

 

“Childhood is bursting at the seams with wonder, learning, exploration, joy, transformation, struggle, and love.  So much carries a child from babyhood to spreading their wings as adults.  It is, at once, so slow and so fast.  So beautiful, and at times, so hard.  What do you want to say about this fascinating time?  We’d love to see your version of the child, from your perspective, in all its wonder or challenge.” –from curator Meredith McGrane

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: June 27, 2016 (Midnight PST)

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 15% of artist fees go to the charity of the monthly curator (griffinmuseum.org) as well as the first place winner’s charity.

CURATOR: Meredith McGrane is a Massachusetts-based photographer whose work often explores her two selves — one part motherhood and one part channeling a penchant for wanderlust that existed long before motherhood.  McGrane’s One Love Project examines mothering an only child with themes of presence, connection, and healing.  Her photographs have been exhibited nationally.  When not photographing, Meredith can be found putting on plays in her living room or riding her Razor scooter around the neighborhood – both with her daughter, of course.http://www.meredithmphotography.com/

Sculpture by Dimosthenis Prodromou
head sculpture by Dimosthenis Prodromou

“I use the term ready-made pallet to describe my color.” –Dimosthenis Prodromou

I’m such a fan of found-object assemblage, trash art & recycled materials.  I understand the debate over archival materials, and I embrace a movement toward outdoor ephemeral sculpture in parks and outside museums & universities.  However, I do often find my self frustrated when an artist chooses to use a recycled materia regardless of of whether it really works.  I don’t like the gimmick of it all.  But the sculptural work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Dimosthenis Prodromou finds itself at one with newsprint.  If feels like a natural progression of the paper’s lifecycle.  It appears both solid, but soft & light.   A ready-made pallet…

Last Fall the local acorn crop failed, along with most of the hard mast.  As a result, black bears suffered along with the deer, squirrels & jays; it is a primary food source in the Smokies.  The bears were so hungry last year, more than 50 of them ended up at our local rescue.  I am hopeful for this year’s crop.  Every squirrel, chipmunk & jay that has crossed my path has done so with a green acorn in its mouth, or so it seems.  Fingers crossed the trees don’t let all the little critters down this year.  This next Call is also all about the trees.  I like this one…

“Trees are essential to the lifeblood of the world.  Roots hold the soil so erosion is mitigated.  They are home to birds, squirrels and many other of nature’s creatures.  They bear fruit and in the fall the colors enhance our lives.  Trees can also be looming, ominous, and, in cases of stormy weather, dangerous.  They are integral to forests and jungles.  They stand alone on a hillside creating lovely shadows; shade a child on a hot day; are sturdy posts to tie up the pet dog, hold a hammock off the ground. Remember the lost art of the backyard laundry line.  Send us your images of trees as you experience them – forests, single trees, branches, roots.”  –NYC4PA.com
