CALL for ENTRIES: Spectrum Gestalt 5

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about Spectrum Gestalt 5 from the bG Gallery in Santa Monica! the full SPECTRUM

I dream of rainbow colored foods.  No doubt you’ve read more than one of my artificial food coloring rants. And, for the record, I don’t understand why one would color food for the sake of coloring them.  But the good news is, we are finding our way back to natural pigments made from tumeric, beet root & blueberries.  One day, I’ll get to eat rainbow cupcakes with full abandon & no fear.  This next Call wants the entire rainbow, but you’re only responsible for ONE of the colors.  Take a look…

Lemons fix everything.  You know that iced tea that is too bitter at your local diner.  Lemon.  And that soft drink that is too much syrup and not enough carbonation.  Lemon, again.  The vodka cranberry make with too much juice?  Lemon works better than lime.  It truly is a miracle fruit.  The gallery sponsoring this next Call comes with lemon built into the name.  Take a look…

There are reasons, philosophical to medical, both against & in favor of the consumption of some things.  But more often that not, it just comes down to personal taste.  I hear people complain about the flavor of cilantro on a seemingly non-stop basis, but I can’t imagine a cilantro-less world.  Some people are never going to eat cilantro; I am not going to stop eating it.  This next Call is like cilantro, you’re going to love it or hate it, but it is still going to be your choice –no one’s forcing you.  So, take a look, or not…

I have a tiny refrigerator.  Well, let me re-phrase that.  I have a small (by American standards) full-size refrigerator. When I down-sized to a smaller home in preparation for a more mobile existence, my refrigerator shrank too.  Luckily, my new smaller home & its appliances are located only 5 minutes from the grocery store which is a marked improvement from the 20+ minutes it took before I moved.  As a result, I can now by produce more often & store it outside of my new, tiny-to-me refrigerator, making for fresher, tastier meals.   This next Call wants to know about your botanicals, but they don’t have to be edible.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Madness

Learn more about the Digital and Collage Madness exhibit from the Las Laguna Gallery!patchwork PROVISIONS

The weirdness of my lunch is directly proportional to how badly I don’t want to go to the grocery store.  I spend most of my working hours in my home office/studio.  As a result, my work clothing standards are sometimes (often) not how I’d like to be seen in public.  So to avoid the extra work of dressing and driving and shopping, I create food collages of sorts –often disparate ingredients composed into pasta salads, casseroles & almost anything sauteed & stuffed into a corn tortilla.  This next Call is for traditional & digital collages; I don’t think food collage counts.  Take a look…

I’m on week 3 of no dishwasher.  It isn’t that bad.  I was dreading it before the move, but I knew downsizing was important enough to get over the inconvenience.  The only real difference I have noticed is the increased use of parchment paper, ha.  I don’t mind washing dishes, but cleaning baking pans is to be avoided when at all possible.  This next Call doesn’t require your work be on or in paper, but one artist will get a bonus prize of beautiful papers from the Awagami Factory.  Take a look…

I don’t stock saffron in my pantry.  As much as I love the opulence & indulgence of a saffron-scented paella, the truth is that I get more mileage from luscious fats like unfiltered olive oil or nutty sesame oil.  I can only punctuate my menus with such an elaborate spice on occasion, but I use oils in every dish.  Opulence is user-defined & experiential, and this next Call wants your vision of the opulent.  Take a look…

I have a secret love for rapini.  You may know it as broccoli raab or broccoletti.  People assume it is just fancy broccoli and often cook it that way, hence the reason I hide my love of it (until now).  Rapini is more closely related to a turnip than broccoli with the same tendency toward bitterness or stringy-ness if under cooked or overcooked.  Don’t ever buy, cook or serve rapini that isn’t a gorgeous shade of green.  (You won’t enjoy the yellow, trust me.)  Don’t under cook it or spare the garlic & olive oil.  This next Call wants your perspective on all the shades of green, not just the broccoli shades.  An open theme…
