Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Photo Shoot 2016 Exhibit from the Black Box Gallery in Portland, OR!PRODUCE unboxed, unbagged

Grocery cashiers aren’t my biggest fans.  They seem to take issue with my lack of packaging.  Why do my two lemons need to be in a plastic bag?  Onions come in their own wrapping.  Why would I protect them from getting dirty when I am just going to peel them? Is it really that hard to corral my summer squash and carrots outside of a bag or box?  This next Call is a great reason to think inside the “box”.  Just leave your produce unfettered. 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. I promise.

“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? It should! And also because it’s just plain insanely inventive to do so!” — from 1650 Gallery

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

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…

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature

Learn more about the Nature Exhibit from art-competition.net!freckled FRUITAGE

Food imagery IS the visual brand of this site.  For years, I used primarily pristine images of perfect foods on crisp, white, burned out backgrounds. But in the past couple of years, my strategy has changed. I have concerns about how many people, children specifically, don’t know what natural produce looks like.  I’ve had many cashiers at the grocer offer to let me trade in a piece of organic fruit for something waxed, dyed & shiny for fear I was buying “bad” produce. Nature doesn’t care about symmetry, saturation or uniformity.  This next Call wants your take on nature.  Open to broad interpretation…

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.
