PASTA

Today I spied organic alphabet soup in the grocery store.  There is some humor to be found in the idea that someone invested in eating organically would also want a food so tortured & processed that it can spell out words.  And, I don’t believe anyone is REALLY teaching their children to read with soup.  So do we really need to communicate with food, literally, or am I just a huge hypocrite for constantly preach about the transformative & communicative power of food?  Okay, I’m a hypocrite, ha.  But, this next Call speaks to the power of text; however, I suspect they are not searching for alphabet pasta mosaics.  Check out this fantastic venue…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Woman Made Gallery (Chicago, IL) for texttexttext.  I’ve shown my own work at this venue, and I loved my experience at this gallery. Take a look…

Text is communication: “I’ll text you”.

Text is image: TeXt. tExT.

Text is nowhere to be seen: …….

ELIGIBILITY: Open to artists of all genders.

MEDIA:  Text based work in all media will be considered.

pass the paper

Would you eat something with no nutritional value just for the sake of eating if you could?  I LOVE to eat, but I’m not sure how much I would love it if I didn’t think even the most indulgent of desserts was secretly fueling my ability to live.  For example, would you eat a snack if it tasted great but happen to be made of paper? Not rice paper, not seaweed paper–PAPER paper.  Check out Slim Chips–interesting experiment.  This next Call strikes me as a much better use of paper.  Take a look…

BUFFET

I spent my pre-adolescence & formative culinary years in a small Georgia town.  It wasn’t all peanuts but more a montage of scenes including fried foods, all-you-can-eat buffets, red-clay stained feet & knees, and demolition derbies.  But in hindsight, I think those scenes were more about my family and less about the place– Marietta, Georgia.  This next Call is proof of the fantastic opportunities & venues found in Marietta/Cobb County.  I am in love with this venue.  Please don’t miss this opportunity…

I prefer thought-out, composed meals with true intention.  But, let’s face it…that doesn’t always happen.  Today, my lunch included two olive & cream cheese stuffed pieces of celery, a deviled egg, a pickled beet, two slices of fresh tomato and two pickles. The only thing composed was the beautiful square plate.  Truly, it was a collage of anything I could find that didn’t have to be cooked.  This next Call wants your collage, AND they want it square.  Whatcha think about that?

Only a very small handful of my friends will abide long debates about varietal olive oils.  My favorite varietal is made from Frantoio olives. Frantoio olives are widely used in Tuscan olive oils–peppery and bitter and pungent and a bit grassy.  Just a few of my food freaky friends will stick around for these debates because we are peas in a pod.  This next Call is for peas of the painting pod.  Take a look…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land.  My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later.  Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap.  I know.  The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call.  Keep reading…
