Learn more about MyScape from uBe ART!will sing for FOOD

Food bartering is alive & well.  Many of you know that I earn a living as a full-time creative, and much of that time is spent as a performing musician.  Farmer’s markets & farm-to-table dinners are among our favorite shows due to the partial payment in food.  Our menu is dotted with treats from the very landscapes that supply our backstage & side-stage views.  This Call asks, “how does your ‘scape’ inform you work?”. Take a look…

My kitchen is awash with hot peppers.  A trip to our UT Farmers Market resulted in a bounty of experimental varietals of habenero & Scotch bonnet peppers.  I moved them from a paper bag to the dehydrator trays, and three hand washes later, my hands were still on fire.  The maker in me couldn’t let go of the idea that I need to preserve them for use over the winter.  The maker in me tries to find a use for every extra.  How does your maker-thinker-feeler side affect your work?  This Call wants to know.  Take a look…

It is the first day of Fall, and I am still nursing my garlic chives from Spring.  I received a gift of a 6″ starter of garlic chives from a farmers market vendor.  And, instead of re-potting, I just sat it in a dish in my window sill and kept clipping and watering.  Miraculously, it is still here –testament to an excellent offering from an excellent farmer.  This next Call is excellent.  Trust me, you won’t regret sending a proposal.

Here today, gone tomorrow –ah, transient tomatoes.  Just last week I was lamenting how many ways I could quickly preserve the abundance of tomatoes I brought home from the farmers market.  Now?  I have a handful of tiny Romas left before I have to suffer the grocer’s sad selection of hard, hot house harlots that pass as tomatoes. This next Call wants your take on transience, physical, mental or ethereal.  Take a look…

“I wish you had a better relationship with breakfast” is a commonly-expressed sentiment from by my husband.  I don’t know if my body simply has become intolerant of pre-noon meals or if I am just bored of the selection of breakfast-approved foodstuffs.  But, I do know myself, and asking me to consume more than a piece of fruit for breakfast (with a rare Benedict exception) isn’t realistic. This next Call wants to know if you know yourself.  Take a look…

“IF the ancient Greeks implored us to ‘know thyself’ and common knowledge assures us that ‘a picture is worth a thousands words’, doesn’t it follow that the amalgamation of random know-nothing’s collectively called ‘the human race’ should be CONSTANTLY photographing themselves in an effort to gain true wisdom and artistic insight?

While traveling around the country, people often ask what food I miss most from home.  The truth is, what I really miss is tea — unsweetened, cold-but-not-iced, sans caffeine.  I drink at least a gallon a day.  I can make it on the road, but it isn’t the same.  Different water, different container, different refrigerator.  When I am nearly home from a road trip, I always think the same thing, “I can’t wait to get home & have a glass of tea” (and see my family and dog, yeah, yeah, I know).  This next call wants to know what “home” is to you.  Take a look…

It is casserole week at my house.  Every once in a while we spend a day assembling casseroles.  I don’t know why people consider them “easy” meals because they take excessive amounts of time, prep and organization, but I do find them convenient to have around once they are pre-prepared on a week I need free time at the end of the day.  Plus, when we have a bevy of rapidly ripening food from our local farmers market, casseroles offer an excellent long-term storage option via the freezer.  But the best part of making casseroles are the ingredients.  Like many of you, I am guilty of getting into a rut of one protein and two vegetable for meals; however, casseroles are a collage of sometimes a dozen or more ingredients.  The combination of ingredients makes for a special treat –like this next collage call.  Don’t miss this one…

ARTIST of the DAY: Mister Finch

“toadstool” (textile art) by Mister Finch

“A story sewn in, woven in. Velvet curtains from an old hotel, a threadbare wedding dress and a vintage apron become . . . . Storytelling creatures for people who are also a little lost, found and forgotten.” —Mister Finch

__

I find tactile joy in vintage textiles and incorporating them into my life gives me a sense of history, of continuation, that my personal story lacks in some degree.  The works of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mister Finch, are gifts of life, experience, labor and joy — of mindfulness.  These creatures have a sort of fabricated authenticity, a beautifully crafted reality.
