CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Embracing our Differences exhibit! say CHEESE

I witnessed a cheese fight this week.  Okay, a cheese argument.  I was having dinner in a restaurant and overheard a fairly ugly discussion about sheep’s milk vs. cow’s milk cheeses.  As we finished our dessert, the conversation was headed toward a goat’s milk cheese debate, and fearful that I would be unable to jump in, I promptly exited.  Ridiculous. Given the world’s issues, the differences that separate cheese lovers may be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.  This next debate celebrates our differences, even amongst those passionate about cheese.  Take a look…

"I wish I were with you" by textile artist Rosalind Wyatt
“I wish I were with you” by textile artist Rosalind Wyatt

________________

“My work is about words – the ‘sound’ of them, the ‘feel’ of them and the forming of letters.   The choice of tool is uninhibited and relevant to the content of the text – therefore my range of writing tools has expanded from nib, through to brush and now to a needle.” —Rosalind Wyatt, textile artist

__

Words have meanings; chose them carefully.  The repercussions can be irreversible.  The textile work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Rosalind Wyatt, investigates the emotion held within every individual mark of the hand to uncover the how each story “feels” as it unfolds.  Spectacularly intimate.

CALL for ENTRIES: Bring us Your Dead

Learn more about the Bring us your Dead exhibit from Las Laguna Gallery!shared TREATS

My Aunt Maggie B. loved marzipan. We would attempt to craft our own from honey, powdered sugar and finely ground almonds & foregoing the additional almond extract.  The year I spent with her trying to form our Play-Doh-like lumps into little fruit and vegetable shapes taught me that food color can be derived from real food, not just a jar, that gold and silver are edible in small amounts, and that treats well-labored taste better.  I celebrate the making & eating of every marzipan fruit with my great aunt Mag (RIP, 1922-2005).  This Call is a chance for you to celebrate life with someone who has already passed.  Take a look…

The upcoming presidential election in the United States has many pondering how we get to a place of peace, of harmony, one with another.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mike Weber, suggests we turn to nature, specifically animals, and study their synchronicity for an example to replicate.  Harmony.

Food matters to me, inspires me.  I believe that what we eat informs our health & happiness.  I’m not talking about counting calories or carbs.  I am concerned with whole foods, grown locally with minimal processing.  Real food.  I am always delighted to see food inspiring others.  Chocolate has inspired art, including a sort of painting, in the the pastry arts for years, but did you know there are chocolate portrait painters?  No joke.  This next call is looking for work done through a painterly process, but I’m guessing they aren’t expecting chocolate.  Investigate for yourself…

I see a lot of theatre performances while hangry –grouchy from a lack of food!  Showtimes frequently hover around dinner time, and unless I want to eat an early bird meal, I usually wait until afterwards.  It makes me grouchy, so my hubby force feeds wine & cheese before hand out of self preservation, ha.  This next Call is from a theatre that offers a full meal (and gallery space) at the theatre.  Genius…

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Evla Vlašičová, is a self-taught photographer.  But, after a recent house fire, Evla finds herself without a darkroom.  I find that creative expression is a bit like a trickle of water in that when it encounters an obstacle, it will always find an alternate path –just as Evla has found the art of the linocut.  You won’t find her on social media, but you can watch a great documentary about her creative process here.

Lamenting the end of red foods the other day, I completely forgot about rhubarb.  The further South you live, the later in the season you can harvest rhubarb.  It isn’t a common find at fresh markets in my area, or even at my grocer, in theory because it is a pain.  It is disease resistant and hard to kill, but it requires a well-fed diet of compost and/or manure each year and SO MUCH watering.  Nonetheless, I love rhubarb jam.  Rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice.  Simple, sweet & tart.  Try it; you’ll love it.  This next Call is looking for your red work, fruits & veggies are optional.  Delicious…

they take it, they take it all back”

The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Marion Täschler, contemplates the rarity, the scarcity, of unforced originality. It has moved her to change her work, change how she presents both her work and herself to the world. That is a scary journey. Admirable.  Thank you.
