CALL for ENTRIES: Road Trip

SUNCHOKE

Winter vegetables are a problem.  I am allergic to parsnips, tired of ever-present potatoes, refuse to pay $6 for a head of cauliflower, and am the only person left on the planet not addicted to kale.  This leaves the cabbage family, spinach –and Jerusalem artichokes.  I can’t remember the last time I ate time had this lovely tuber.  One of the best things about root vegetables is they are rarely bought excessively under-ripe, and since most folks roast or mash them, they are rarely too ripe.  That makes them easy to buy and uncommonly wasted.  Where are my keys? Road trip.  I am headed to the grocer, but you should head to this next Call for road trips.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Art Underground (Arlington, VA) for the Road Trip exhibit.  This theme is ripe with opportunity.  Don’t miss your chance…

Many of you ask if I take the food photos used in AAAD posts.  Occasionally.  I took this one (left).  But more often, the imagery is stock.  I really don’t document what I eat often enough to provide a library of images from which to choose.  I have tried to break myself of the habit of being “that” diner –the one whose food gets cold while they get the perfect angle– out of guilt that my family was suffering the consequences (cold, soggy food).  This next Call wants YOUR documentary images, food optional of course.  Investigate…

beautiful EXISTENCE

I try to live transparently. I have no illusions about online safety or personal privacy.  As a result, it is fairly easy to find out anything you could ever want to know about me.  I find it peaceful, really (the not hiding of it all).  There ARE days however when my want to be transparent gives way to discomfort of perceived invisibility –both physical, artistic & emotional.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Cristina Troufa questions and explores the self as other through an extraordinary series of self-portraits.   (continues below)

beautiful EXISTENCE

I’ve been searching for the perfect new home. I have fallen in love with the most imperfect 10 acres.  Someone else out bid me because my budget is ridiculous.  Two weeks later, their contract dissolved.  I have a second day to hold the hope of imperfection in my heart. Fingers crossed.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Sue Hotchkis celebrates that same beauty.  My totem art for the day. (continues below)

Learn more about the fibre art of AAAD's Artist of the Day Sue Hotchkis!

 “…my work is texture and surface, strongly influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi. I seek out imperfection, in the insignificant and the overlooked, using a camera to freeze a moment in time, recording marks and surfaces that are in the process of breaking down, ephemeral, in a state of flux. ” —Sue Hotchkis

Fresh fruit is still my favorite dessert.  I will take a bowl of berries over chocolate 9 times out of 10.  The only thing I miss is the fat content, the luscious mouth feel.  But, my husband has solved that problem with scratch-made whipped cream, heavy on the vanilla, light on the sugar.  There’s no going back. This next call could be the whipped cream on top of your fresh new art season.  Take a look…

do i KNOW YOU?

All of us wear a mask.  I don’t believe every mask is a deceit or even a conscious choice, but it still a mask, deceptive or not.  I have days when a wolf in sheep’s clothing seems an overly-dramatic cliche.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Miguel Vallinas creates the mask that truly fits.

yours FOREVER

I have spent a lifetime not buying still life work, because it doesn’t usually call to me.  I like my work non-representational, controversial, emotionally raw.  But I keep finding work that defies my notion of what is and is not still life.   Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Karen O’Neil creates contemporary work with bright hues that only work because of her masterful use of neutrals –grays abound.  (continues below)

Chalk menu boards are sort of a bummer.  I can appreciate the eco-friendly nature of the notion as well as the flexibility for casual restaurants to keep their menus updated and filled with fresh ingredients.  But I sure miss the illustrated paper menus.  Aside from the handful of chalk art geniuses out there, nothing really beats bad menu illustration.  Come on, you know you just had a flash back to your favorite childhood pizza joint’s drawing of the mustachioed chef complete with red neckerchief and checkerboard pants.  I suspect those illustrators aren’t going to be competing in this next Call.  Take a look…

yours FOREVER

In a Walmart world where most everything can be had for $10 or less, how do we avoid reinforcing a culture that regards everything is disposable?  How do we discourage casual consumerism and reinforce long-term responsibility of ownership?  Value.  Buy what you LOVE.   Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Emily Shane upcycles much-loved cast-offs of days past.   I LOVE the texture AND how illustrative this work is of falling down the reading “rabbit hole”.

“Reader’s Digest Condensed Book covers are my the base material for my mixed-media assemblages.  I’m inspired by their vintage look and texture, the rich colors, engaging patterns & surprising beauty –all of which are usually hidden under dust covers!  Now fading from the American gestalt, RDCBs speak to the baby-boomer generation as a bygone slice of middle-class life that will never return.”  –Emily Shane

CUKES

Cucumber frequently replaces crackers & bread in our house due to a family-wide wheat allergy.  I love the crisp texture coupled with the ridiculously low price.  If you have ever grown your own, you know that they fruit prodigiously, so they cost precious little.  But I have recently volunteered to pay more for my cucumbers.  No, I didn’t go organic; I went English.  I can’t go back.  English cucumbers aren’t usually waxed because plastic wrapping helps contain the moisture, and they are less bitter due to the smaller seeds.  But the true benefit for me is that they seem to spoil at such a slow rate that I never have to throw anything away.  The benefit outweighs the cost.  The return on this next opportunity is worth every penny too.  Take a look…
