CALL for ENTRIES: A Show of Heads 2018

brain FOOD

There are lots of foods I eat that give others pause.  There are lots of foods that I have tried once but will never consume again.  Then there are foods that make no sense to me, at all.  When I was in college, my favorite 24 hour diner was legendary.  It had been open since the 1930s, and because it was located just steps from the state capitol, the stories that built its reputation were also legendary.  The menu was populated with standard fare like over-easy eggs and BLTs, but among the meat options included were souse, head cheese & calf brains.  Really?  Did any of those things come in such high demand that they warranted permanent menu status? *shudder*  I’ll keep my brain associations within my own head, thank-you-very-much.  Speaking of heads, take a look…

SWEET squared

When is the last time you saw a sugar cube in a restaurant?  Me neither.  Maybe I’m going to the wrong restaurants, ha.  Did you know that before the Victorian-era sense of order gave us manageable single-serving size cubes of sugar, there was a person whose job it was to nip sugar into less large chunks than the cone-shaped loaf you brought home from your grocer.  This next Call is all about the cube or the square or smaller.  Take a look…

For most of my life I felt I had a good handle on people as a species –essentially good & well-intentioned but deeply flawed.  But the past few years have opened my eyes to my own bias & rocked my faith in good intentions.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gabrielle Shannon, reminds me that the world is bigger than ourselves, bigger than our experience.  Check our her full statement!

I have broken my addiction to photographing my food in public.  I’ve eaten more that a few meals that were cooler than necessary for the sake a pretty shot. Embarassing? Yes.  But why I have never snapped pics of my food from home is a puzzle.  I never think about it until my meal is over.  My chicken fajitas & guac were beautiful yesterday, but you’ll have to take my word for it.  This next Call won’t take you work for it, you’re gonna have to produce the photographs.  Take a look…

I remember chasing the ice cream truck and cycling away, post chase, peeling the paper away from my treasure with both hands and trying not to crash into a parked car or a jay-walking pedestrian.  In my current neighborhood, the roads are only two lanes, the tourist traffic is crazy, and there aren’t any kids on bicycles –or ice cream trucks.  I wonder if I can still ride.  Hmmm.  This next call is all about the bicycle or cycling.  I love the memories this theme conjures…

Food is like clothing, trends come & go, but the classics always look the same.  I went to culinary school two decades ago & the classics were lamb chops, Béarnaise butter, tourné cut potatoes & asparagus.  I went to dinner two weeks ago, and the same dishes appeared on the menu with a tweak & a twist.  Things remain, repeat & refine.  This next Call has three decades of history and is still going strong.  Take a look…

all JUICED up

I have to learn to stop reading the comments sections on social media posts.  Even when I think I found a safe, foodie-friendly post, I end up amazed by the viciousness of the battles over juice as the fiber-less evil cousin of fruit or the severing of parental rights over cereal as breakfast food.  Do our food choices speak to the human condition, or is it how we judge others that speaks to our place in the world?  I am always happy to hear your thoughts.  This next Call would also like to know what you have to say about the human condition.  Investigate…

THEME: The Human Condition “The visual narrative of the artist’s work should speak to the human condition:  from joy to despondence, kind fortune to adversity, liberating freedom of expression to agonies of suppression. These myriad strongholds of energies, which hopefully inspire your works, should speak to us as they represent your brightest or darkest experiments and enlightening realizations in your life and should be represented as such here in your fine artwork for us to absorb and potentially integrate into our own lives.  So, your submitted creations should express the subject as felt through the artist’s empathy or subjective eye of experience.  The message is meant for us, the viewer.”

ROLLING into spring

It matters little how well you cook if you have missing ingredients.  I’m addicted to simple homemade spring rolls; fresh produce transforms into crispy little treasures. But, for the past couple of months, I’ve been unable to locate spring roll wrappers locally.  Because of their delicate nature, I hesitate to have them shipped because if they arrive cracked, all their stuffing pops out when baked.  Funny how one misses a simple $3 material when it has become a staple.  This next Call is all about the materials.  Take a look…
