TARRAGON

My talent lies with liquids. That is, my cooking skills are at their best with sauces, soups, stews & the occasional bisque. There are many Seinfeld-esque Soup Nazi comments in my house regularly, but I am so excited that winter is here. There is something about the delicate balance of flavors & how they change in a liquid that create the perfect puzzle for me to solve. Let the season of potato soup, bolognese & Sauce Béarnaise. This next Call wants to know where your talents lie. The deadline is just around the corner…

CALL for ENTRIES: Oddity

Posted on September 27, 2015September 29, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

SUGAR bear

Food oddities abound –from century eggs to snake wine. But I find the biggest food oddity is the waste of food in massive, organized food fights. How do you use tons of food to make a mess when it could be feeding someone? I don’t understand. I suppose that some make an argument that food art is also a waste; however, I think the difference in scale might be the defining factor. I have to admit to loving Kevin Champeny‘s gummy bear chandeliers. This next Call is looking for oddities, but they don’t have to be food related. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Jealous

Posted on September 24, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

jumping through the
HOOPS

I have plastic envy. Hoop houses are sprouting up all over town as pre-planning for chances of upcoming frost. Last year our first snow came in October. Locally lots of folks protect their late Summer plantings from possible early frost while also giving them space to start seedlings in colder weather. Once the ground is frozen, installation becomes a much more complicated project. My house hangs on the side of a mountain. The only flat space I have for a hoop house is my gravel driveway, ha. Jealous of plastic –never thought I’d have that problem. This next Call will hopefully make you the object of the jealous. Take a look…

CHOCOLATE

The sight of a train trestle always conjures my cravings for hot chocolate. My entire life has been spent in residence within about a half-mile of railroad road tracks. I loved sitting on my front porch in the Fall with a cup of hot chocolate and listen to the trains pass. That all ended when I moved to Gatlinburg. Now my cravings for hot chocolate come about through all the standard means–a chill in the air, holiday decorations, a simple sweet tooth. But, today I found merely the name of the gallery in this next Call sent me in search of cocoa in my cabinet. This is a wonderful opportunity, don’t miss it…

Today, I ate a peach in a public park under a dogwood tree in the dappled sunlight of a gorgeous 78° Sunday afternoon. Oh Summer, I am going to miss you.

PEPPERS

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter. This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work. I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work. Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

Curvilinear

“Planar lines that wind, wend and soar through a image’s field of focus. Curving components within a photograph give the image depth, allowing the viewer’s eye to move through the frame almost effortlessly. It is almost as if the photographer takes the viewer by the hand, draws them into the frame, and points the way. The viewer’s eyes are compelled to follow the line of the curvature. Darkroom Gallery is calling for images that possess this curvy compositional trait.” –darkroomgallery.com
