ARTIST of the DAY: Elizabeth White

"Migration", a site-specific installation of concrete life-cast leaves, by Elizabeth White — **“Migration”**, a site-specific installation of concrete life-cast leaves, by **Elizabeth White**

“In view of the current economic disasters, political conditions, military actions & climate or earth changes I see immigration as the new normal. What may be them today is us tomorrow.” — Elizabeth White

•

Many people spend a lifetime without ever having to consider the need to emigrate from their homeland. Many others spend their lives learning what it means to always be an immigrant, never feeling quite at home. And then there are others, never quite at home regardless of where they are. When I saw the “Migration” installation by today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Elizabeth White, I marveled at the simple symbolism of leaves separated from their roots. It is precisely how many of us feel, like leaves strewn about, seemingly at random. Disconnected.

Variety in the produce department is on it’s way out with the onset of winter temps. Initially it feels dire –momentary panic. But by the time winter arrives, Dec. 21st this year, I will appreciate the nutty sweetness of root veggies and the silky texture of winter squash and a rainbow of beans. Plus, the cost of my weekly produce goes down by a third leaving more money for art supplies. Woohoo! This next Call offers a great opportunity to stock your studio supply closet too. Take a look…

now i’m COOKING

My kitchen is sacred; all of them have been. Studio space is sacred, all of them are. I have had them in every size, and every quality –both kitchens & studios. Now, my studio is attached to my kitchen, separated by a counter in my tiny new apartment.

It posts up in supportive communities and makes itself known when the impossible becomes reality.” –from gallery263.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Raw

Posted on November 5, 2017November 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

raw FOOD

In a world where so many people are vegetarian or vegan, steak tartar was once the most controversial food conversations one could have. Now we have so many more choices of things with which to disagree. If we just stick to raw foods, there are still subgroups like fruitarians, juicearians, or sproutarians which cause heads to metaphorically explode. The bottom line is that people have the right to determine what goes into their bodies, and what we choose to eat says something about who we are. We are what we eat, right? This next Call wants to know the raw truth about you through your work. This one is personal…

It may define intuitively an intended focal point that carries the viewer more deeply into the artist’s message.” –art-competition.net

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

time to EAT

I have been married for almost 20 years. He is not only the love of my life but also an excellent cook. Our culinary lives have matured through two decades of kitchen gadgets and trendy foods. We survived jalapeño poppers. We’re usually on the same page and make excellent enablers of the others bad habits. Last nights dinner was fried green tomatoes and goat cheese grits. That’s true love. This next Call wants to reward you for sticking with it for 20 years too. A rare opportunity…

CALL for APPLICATIONS: Paris Residency

Posted on October 24, 2017October 24, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

POMME de terre

While most of the U.S. is pumpkin spice obsessed this Fall, I am looking forward to potatoes. Yes, I can get potatoes year ’round, but most of my favorite potato dishes are French-inspired, winter comfort food. Raclette is a firm cheese made from cow’s milk, meant to melted and served over potatoes. Gratin dauphinois is a glorious combination of potatoes, cream & garlic reminiscent of scalloped potatoes. How about hachis parmentier, consisting mashed potatoes & ground beef, layered with cheese? The only thing better than these winter foods would be eating them in Paris. This next Call could give you just that opportunity. Take a look…

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…
