Opera Columbus presents Orphée et Eurydice April 20-22 Southern Theatre www.operacolumbus.org •••••

CS

“IT’S NOT AN OPERA,” promises Peggy Kriha Dye, artistic director of Opera Columbus.

Strange at it may seem, she’s talking about the organization’s upcoming production of Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice, which concludes its 2017-2018 season.

Instead, Dye says, it’s an experience that includes opera. And that experience, she further promises, will be a spectacle.

Based on the Greek myth of Orpheus, the scene opens with our hero, played

by Siman Chung, mourning the death of his lover, Eurydice. Amour, or Cupid, appears, offering him the chance to journey to the underworld and rescue his love.

Groundbreaking when it was originally performed in 1762, the opera is undergoing a serious reinvention at the hands of Opera Columbus.

“One of the things we wanted to experiment with was how we can take a classic, beautiful piece of operatic history and make it appealing to a modern audience,” Dye says. “How do you modernize it without completely changing it?”

To that end, the company took the everyday sights and sounds that a new audience is used to experiencing in a movie theater or on an iPhone and made them part of the show.

Technological Wonder The first step to incorporating this modern-day revolution was introducing a virtual chorus, made up of voices both professional and amateur from around the world.

Somewhere between 60 and 100 faces and voices, submitted electronically, will be stitched together and projected onto the set, singing backup for a more traditional live chorus and the principal performers. Along with the virtual chorus, the music has been updated, with additions such as electric guitar and synthesizer.

“Everything seems to have been given the upside-down treatment for this particular piece,” says Mireille Asselin, who plays Eurydice.

More traditional dancing has been replaced with a burlesque ballet troupe, New York’s Company XIV, and aerial silk dancing. The character of Amour, played by Marcy Richardson, will perform her entire role suspended in the air.

“The burlesque element is something that is so different from the often buttonedup classical approach to things, and I think it’s going to be amazing,” Asselin says.

The juxtaposition of the traditionally sophisticated opera with the seductive quality of burlesque may seem surprising, but it’s oddly fitting for this love story. Burlesque is often associated with an artistic underworld of sin, a place Orphée quite literally traverses in Act II, where the demonic furies embody enticing emotions.

Motivation So why take these kinds of risks with a modern-day performance? Dye says it’s because she loves opera, but it’s time for opera to evolve in order to survive as an art form.

“Opera is something that’s been around for hundreds of years, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere, but I think with every art form, you have to adapt to what

modern society is interested in,” says Katy Tucker, video and projection designer. “And I think our lives are completely inundated with technology and social media.”

After Orphée et Eurydice takes the stage in Columbus from April 20-22, it will tour across Canada with Toronto’s Against the Grain Theatre.

“Every opera that came out for the first time was pushing the envelope,” Dye says. “Because they’ve been around a long time, we’ve made them so precious, but they were actually pretty edgy. Opera’s known for innovation. That’s what I’m trying to bring back: innovation.” CS Rosie Robinson is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Keeping it Together “When you bring up something that’s an old myth, sometimes that’s alienating and people don’t relate to it, but this breaks it down to this really universally relatable experience,” says Katy Tucker, video and projection designer.

It’s Tucker’s job to tie all of the technological and spectacular elements together, allowing the audience to focus on what’s important: the music, the story and the emotions.

“They will without a doubt be entertained, but there’s also this really strong emotional and human element to it that is not to be missed,” Tucker says.

For Colleen McChesney Konkus, one summer, 35 years ago, was the beginning of a journey that would forever change her life.

At 10 years old, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Three days after the diagnoses, she and her family walked into St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital, a Memphis pediatric treatment facility that treats all patients regardless of ability to pay, for the first time.

“That was the first time I realized I had cancer, because a 10-year-old doesn’t proThe Konkus family cess that,” Konkus says.

Because of that incredible experience, Konkus and her family have been committed Discover the Dream to supporting St. Jude ever since. Today, Steve McChesney, Konkus’s father, is part of a May 17, 6-10 p.m. committee that plans the annual Discover the Dream fundraiser for St. Jude.

Brain Maintenance Stroke prevention, treatment and risk factors to help patients live full lives

By Emily Real “It’s much better to overestimate someone having a stroke than underestimate them having a stroke,” Mullin says. “You don’t ever want to miss a stroke.”

THOUGH MANY PEOPLE are aware of the effects and causes of strokes, the impor-

tance of understanding the signs, risk factors and prevention practices for strokes cannot be understated.

Because a stroke can have a severe impact on the brain function of someone who experiences one, it’s important to reiterate the best practices.

Signs of Stroke and Immediate Plan of Action If you think someone you know might be having a stroke, the most important thing to do is act quickly, says Dr. Bradford Mullin of Mount Carmel Health.

“The more you delay treatment for a stroke, the more the deficit is going to be,” Mullin says. “Call EMS right away. … The faster you get (the victim) to definitive care, the better they’re going to be.”

Mullin says the main signs of stroke can be summarized with the acronym “BE FAST:” balance, eyes, facial droop, arm drift/weakness, speech difficulties and time, which refers to the fact that if these signs of stroke are detected, it’s essential to act quickly.

Other factors from other illnesses – multiple sclerosis, tumors, etc. – can present similar symptoms to stroke. In addition, sometimes, it might be difficult to tell if someone is really struggling from a stroke at all. But none of these is a reason not to seek treatment right away, Mullin says.

10

cityscenecolumbus.com | April/May 2018

Possible Treatments It used to be that not much could be done to reduce the effects of a stroke. Instead, doctors mainly focused on taking measures to prevent the person from having another.

“Before, when someone had a stroke, we had to pretty much just assume that function was lost in that part of the brain,” Mullin says.

The first major medical development for lessening the impact of the actual stroke was the invention of the Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) medication, most commonly referred to as the “clot buster.”

“It’s normally administered through either an IV or an intravenous catheter,” Mullin says. “Lots of current treatment (for stroke) is based upon that.”

The most recent development in treatment, though, has been the evolving practice called a thrombectomy, where doctors can actually stick a catheter into the affected blood vessel, and physically pull the clot from it.

“The treatment window for a thrombectomy used to be pretty small,” Mullin says.

“But now it’s extended to up to 24 hours. It’s still really important to get patients in quick, though, (and) the earlier, the better.”

Prevention Measures While genetic predisposition and previous strokes can certainly increase a person’s risk of stroke, two of the biggest risk factors for strokes are preventable.

“The two biggest risk factors for strokes are hypertension and smoking,” Mullin says.

ACCIDENTS DON’T TAKE A VACATION. “And the good thing is, both of those are preventable through lifestyle changes like stopping smoking, and healthier diet or exercise.” CS Emily Real is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Some superfoods are easy to incorporate into your diet. You can substitute kale for spinach or tofu for chicken or beef, for example, or add beans to your hearty winter soups.

Some are more difficult – who even knew garlic could be black, anyway? – but still doable. You can also try your hand rolling your own sushi with nori seaweed, or sprinkling maca powder over your cereal in the morning, just like fiber powder.

Revved Up Two of Ohio’s most prominent racing courses prepare for summer seasons

By Laura Baird WHEN THE WEATHER starts warming up, so do engines at two of Ohio’s premier race courses.

Lexington’s Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Hebron’s National Trail Raceway kick off their 2018 seasons in April.

“It’s basically a park with a race track running through it,” says Steve Bidlack, marketing and communications manager for MidOhio. “It’s a relaxed, family-friendly environment for all to enjoy.”

“Our course is very interactive, with drivers really getting to know and spend time with the fans. I think that’s the coolest part of drag racing,” says Steve Long, general manager for National Trail.

Mid-Ohio’s first scheduled engagement is April 14, but its season officially starts with the International Motor Sports Association-Sanctioned Sports Car Event from May 4-6. The event promises three-hour endurance races featuring premium sports cars. The largest, most-anticipated race of Mid-Ohio’s season, though, takes place July 27-29: the Honda Indy 200, which started in 1970 and has been sponsored by Honda since 2007.

National Trail is also geared up for the summer season, with

three new events on its agenda: Street Car Takeover, Bottom Bulb Shootout and Professional Drag Racers Association’s Super Strip Nationals. Also, the JEGS ET Bracket Series, with more stops this season than ever before at National Trail, will showcase local and out-of-state racers in a summer-long competition, closing the season with a winner from each bracket.

In the off season, both tracks have undergone renovations, including a new score board at Mid-Ohio and new LED track lighting and bleachers at National Trail, to improve spectators’ experiences.

“On a hot summer night, with the race track lights beaming and cars racing around the track, I couldn’t think of a better place to be,” says Long. CS Laura Baird is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Local record shop owners and music enthusiasts talk about the revival of vinyl Story and photos by Lydia Freudenberg

April/May 2018 | cityscenecolumbus.com

19

Old North FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, Steve Louis has been buying and listening to records.

He doesn’t consider himself a collector, just someone who loves music. But, by default, he acquired a collection.

“I never listen to music through my telephone or computer, because it’s so thin and there is so much missing,” Louis says.

So when he listens to music, it’s on vinyl records, a format he finds far superior.

Even in an age of digital formats, Louis says, he doesn’t classify records as nostalgic, since they have been around for years. It’s just that their popularity has fluctuated. Finding the newest pop album or a classic rock album is always possible, including at Louis’s shop, Records Per Minute (RPM). “(Records) have always been around. They have never gone away,” he says. “In the past 10 to 15 years, they’ve definitely picked up, but it’s not (by) leaps and bounds.”

RPM has approximately 25,000 records from many different genres in its collection. Louis’ favorites? They’ve expanded as he’s consumed more music, but he mostly enjoys rock, jazz, reggae, blues and country.

Louis can’t pinpoint his favorite record, comparing it to the ageold “picking a favorite child” scenario. His favorite part about owning RPM is selling something he’s passionate about and interacting with music lovers.

“I like to talk music with people all the time. It’s interesting to see what people like and what works for them,” he says. “Music is a special thing, and there are so many different styles and types and different forms of expression in the music that it’s just endless.”

Downtown Columbus AFTER WORKING AS A graphic designer

and starting a record label, Brett Ruland decided he wanted a career entirely focused on music. His wife, Amy Kesting, suggested a record shop.

Named after his record label, Spoonful Records opened in 2010, featuring used records, many from Ruland’s personal collection. Today, the shop has more than 8,000 used and new records in classic rock, hip-hop, soundtracks and more.

Ruland says vinyl has outlasted other music formats, but its current popularity is nothing compared to the 1970s and 80s. Still, the couple notices increasing shop sales and how many teenagers find vinyl intriguing.

“Teenage kids and their parents are com-

ing in together and having conversations about the music,” says Kesting. “For the 14- and 15-year-olds that are getting into vinyl now, a lot of them have never owned physical media.”

“Because there is so much online, I think people want to have a real experience and see what else is out there,” adds Ruland.

As Kesting places a $5 1950s Al Hirt jazz record onto the shop’s turntable, the

sound is crisp. She notes that vinyl allows people to listen to music that may not be digitally downloadable. “(Experts) estimate that something like 20 percent of the music from the ’60s and ’70s is available digitally,” she says. “There are so many records that have come out.

If you want it, you got to get it on vinyl.”

Along with vinyl’s fuller sound, Ruland says records also have a nostalgic feel,

“I think the hardest thing with the world we live in today is finding time to listen to the record,” says Ruland. “I love nostalgia. I mean, just look around (the shop). There are pinball machines and we’re playing old-timey music, but for me, I guess it’s comforting, that memory of a time gone by that you’re keeping alive.”

Clintonville SINCE THE LATE 1960S, David Lewis has collected vinyl records.

But when the 2008 recession hit, and times got tough, he decided to sort through his collection and open a record shop.

Business has fluctuated in the years since for the shop, named after Lewis’s daughter, opened, but he hopes future generations will keep vinyl alive.

“We were wanting (the shop) to be something from our past, me and my wife, that survived and went on to Elizabeth’s generation,” he says. “We worry about what’s going to happen to (records). … Is it something that’s just going to be a fad, or is it something that young people are going to completely embrace and carry on?”

The store sells mostly vintage or used LPs and 45s, along with refurbished turntables. Lewis says he knows he won’t get rich sell-

ing records, but he loves doing something he’s passionate about and meeting new people.

“I still discover music I didn’t know about,” he says. “Also, if you look at my Facebook friends, about 80 percent of them are people I’ve met in this store. So it’s brought me into the community and the community into here.”

Lewis says maybe he’ll pass the shop down to Elizabeth one day, but for now, he’s selling records in her place.

“It’s always been her shop, run by me.” CS Lydia Freudenberg is a contributing editor. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Seeing the World in Black and White Rockford Homes’ Bradford model is trendy in a monochromatic palette

By Amanda DePerro

I

t’s well-known that the process of buying a home is stressful. Finding the right house, selling the one you’re in now and moving the family can be difficult – and that doesn’t even include adding personal touches after moving in.

“If you can add three or four custom features, it brings the home to a whole different level,” says real estate agent Brandon Clark.

We walked through Rockford Homes’ Bradford model in Jerome Village with Clark – vice president, associate broker and real estate agent for Plowman Properties – to discuss trending real estate features his clients are looking for.

Clark notes, with the widespread availability of inspiration from shows such as Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Fixer Upper on HGTV and websites such as Pinterest, everyone is looking for light, monochromatic colors with rustic details – and the Bradford has it all.

“Everything is going to white and gray; lighter. Just Chip and Joanna on steroids,” says Clark, laughing. “It’s really rustic right now. Plus, it goes with everything. You can change your furniture and still match.”

Evolution

Remodeler transforms Upper Arlington house over the span of a decade

By Garth Bishop

T

he Upper Arlington home of Tom Winters and Mary SchellWinters has come a long way since the couple began working with the Cleary Company on an extensive remodel.

Over the span of a decade, the house has seen major overhauls of its master bathroom, kitchen, powder room, study, deck, basement and home office.

The initial steps – master bathroom, kitchen, study and powder room, as well as a mud room and some general interior work – comprised an extensive remodel of the first and second floors. The work was done in phases to better accommodate the family’s schedule, finishing in 2009.

The home office underwent its renovations in 2015 when the homeowners found themselves doing more work at home. The pool deck followed in 2016, as the homeowners found the area lacking in several respects and the decking itself was beginning to rot in places.

The basement, finished in 2016, was the final piece of the puzzle.

Garth Bishop is managing editor. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

The house’s lower level was originally a rec room for the couple’s sons, but it has been transformed into a living area. The columns were re-wrapped, lights were installed, and a bed, furniture and an entertainment center were added.

Cleary opened up the area above the stairs, which previously was so low that taller people had to duck.

The company also added lighting and drywalled the dropped ceiling.

The home office space was redesigned as a study area for the couple’s two sons, with computer stations on the right and left sides with a window seat in the middle. New glass doors lead into the room, and the floor is hand-hewn hardwood.

The master bathroom was gutted and replaced completely except for a closet. Heated floors and the custom, glass-walled shower are among the highlights. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

The new pool deck is significantly larger than the old one, which did not curve around as this one does.

This dressing area is entirely new to the pool, and the fencing is made of the same material as the deck.

The entire kitchen was gutted and replaced by Cleary, including the doors, flooring and utilities. A barrel ceiling was a key part of the renovation. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

Multifunction Junction Furniture with several different functions can help make the most of a small space

By Lydia Freudenberg

Styling Storage Instead of a basic coffee table, try a wooden bench-like structure that can also serve as a cubby. Store blankets, pillows, board games and more inside, and use as additional seating when guests arrive.

Check out LIFT designed by Sacha Lakic and featured at the Short North’s Roche Bobois Paris. The countertop of this sleek buffet reveals a standalone bar with the push of a button, which activates the smooth, quiet, electronic lifting mechanism. This James Bond-like piece will also keep your most fragile glasswares safe from rattling.

Mirror, Mirror Reflective surfaces can brighten and expand a room. Hinge on a wall a large

mirror that can be pulled down to reveal a table. Or add The Box, by Italian company Kristalia, to your bedroom; the six-foot tall and only six-inch deep cabinet features a fulllength mirror on the door.

Books Galore The HUK Table serves as a side table, workspace, and magazine and book holder.

Flip this S-shaped design on any side and watch it become a different piece of furniture.

For a full dining experience, look for the rustic bookcase that turns into a table. The shelves stay level while moving the device, which brings the wooden planks together, making a smooth transition.

Classic Tiles, Fresh Patterns One way to create a custom look is to incorporate patterns and designs using pre-fabricated tiles. Mix and match lines, colors and shapes to create a new pattern or even a patchwork design.

The Perfect Shade Need just the right shade of periwinkle but can’t find it anywhere? Try hand-painted tiles to achieve a unique design or the perfect hue to bring your vision to life.

Mosaic Masterpieces Make a statement with a work of art.

Fashioned after the ancient art form, mosaic-style tiles can create any look by transforming generic tile into works of art. Create an intricate pattern or an entire scene with this option.

Drone and VR technology have the potential to simplify roofing needs

G

etting an estimate for roof replacement can be a hassle, but technological advancements have the potential to make the process much easier.

Enter Robyn.

Robyn combines drone technology and virtual reality to quickly and painlessly inspect roofs and offer prices for replacement. It was rolled out in February by Westerville-based roofing and exterior contractor Feazel.

After a homeowner submits his or her information to set up an estimate, a drone is sent to fly over the house to take images and analyze the roof. The homeowner need not even be home at the time.

Then, the homeowner is sent a personalized link to the virtual reality experience, and can use provided VR goggles to see images of the current roof, look at a 3-D model of the home and search shingles online to determine exact pricing. “(With) so many projects … you all too often have to get to work late or leave work early and set an appointment,” says Robert Thomas, director of marketing for Feazel. “We know that our business is a need-based business, and people aren’t

Taken for ’granate Superfood pomegranate makes a spirituous appearance

By Alex Curran-Cardarelli

SUPERFOODS, THOUGH TRADITIONALLY thought of as something to

eat, can also come in drink form.

Though the likes of avocado and acai berry have been making prominent appearances in recipes from salads to smoothies, pomegranate has a role to play in semi-healthful libations.

Pomegranate juice contains three times more antioxidants than red wine and green tea. Additionally, pomegranate juice contains a high dose of vitamin C, improves digestion and has shown signs of preventing arthritis, heart disease and diabetes.

It also makes a tasty cocktail, as evidenced by the Summer Punch listed on Middle West Spirits’ website. CS

Bank on it

Heartland Bank is a dedicated supporter of the arts in central Ohio

By Laura Cole

WITH MORE THAN 50 nonprofit organizations and

festivals around central Ohio benefiting from its support, you might say Heartland Bank considers the arts close to its heart.

Grove City Arts in the Alley

The company, headquartered in Whitehall, has placed an emphasis on supporting the arts since 1988, and its commitment to the community has not gone unnoticed. In the 2018 Governor’s Awards for the Arts in Ohio, Heartland is being recognized for Business Support of the Arts (Small).

“Support for local music and the arts fosters the development of important skills in the lives of children and families who embrace the arts, learn from the tradition and become lifelong arts advocates,” says Scott McComb, chairman, president and CEO of Heartland Bank.

Partnerships with Impact Final Fridays: Celebrate the Arts, Newark

Many of the 50-plus organizations that have benefited from Heartland’s generosity are based in the arts. These include: • Columbus College of Art & Design; • Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival; • Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce Music & Arts Festival; • Summer Jam West; and • Grove City Arts in the Alley.

Heartland Bank goes above and beyond when it creates partnerships, says McComb. The company is dedicated to bettering surrounding communities and through hands-on work with every project, instead of just the money behind the curtain.

Among the highlights of its community involvement are: • Heartland BancCorp founders Tiney and Helena McComb co-founded Arts in the Alley.

• The company has been presenting sponsor of Arts in the Alley for 19 years, and the Westerville Music & Arts Festival for 17 years.

A Verdant Venture

An in-depth look at what Greene County has to offer

By Jenny Wise

WHETHER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR a weekend of family fun, an escape into nature’s

sanctuary or a day of shopping and dining, Greene County offers a variety of adventures just an hour from Columbus. Delve into aviation history at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, take a hike through Glen Helen Nature Preserve in Yellow Springs and enjoy all the shopping, dining and entertainment amenities Greene County has to offer.

Family Fun

Taking Flight: With free admission, the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force is a great option for aviation fanatics and curious minds alike.

Once a month, the museum’s education division hosts Saturday Family Day, a themed event with hands-on opportunities fit for kids and adults of all ages.

Looking for more of a thrill? Check out Goodfolk & O’Tymes Biplane Rides to take your family on an open-air flight reminiscent of aviation in the 1920s and ’30s. Every member of the family can take flight, but children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

Traveling Back in Time: There are several historic sights to see in northern Greene County. Cedarville’s Indian Mound Reserve, home to two American 48

cityscenecolumbus.com | April/May 2018

Indian structures that have been around for hundreds of years, has spectacular wildflower displays featuring about 125 species in early May. Fuel your family for more fun with a stop by the Historic Clifton Mill for a bite to eat and a look at one of the largest waterpowered grist mills still in existence. Call ahead to schedule a tour of the inner workings of the mill for $3 per person. Tours are available weekdays in spring and summer from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Keep up with current film releases while stepping back in time at the Little Art Theatre. It’s been part of the Yellow Springs community since 1929, and though it was renovated in 2013, the movie theater retains its iconic houselights and marquee.

Nature Retreat

Explore Yellow Springs: Visitors to the Glen Helen Nature Preserve can enjoy a short walk through breathtaking wildflowers, limestone cliffs with waterfalls and overhangs, 400-year-old trees, and the yellow spring for which the town is named.

Close by, John Bryan State Park offers boating, fishing, disc golf, hiking and picnicking. If you are looking to adventure for a weekend, the park offers rentals on camp sites, a shelter house and a day lodge.

Adventure in Xenia and Beavercreek: About halfway between Yellow Springs and Xenia, you can find one of the most picturesque sections of the Little Miami State and National Scenic River. Jacoby Road Canoe Launch offers canoeists easy access to the river, along with fishing and hiking.

Closer to Beavercreek, Narrows Reserve offers canoeing, fishing, picnicking and hiking, in addition to a nature center.

At the Narrows Reserve Nature Center, visitors can view native plant and animal exhibits, and tour the raptor aviary along with

the Greene County Beekeepers’ Association Apiary.

The Beaver Creek Wetlands Preserve is a bird watcher’s dream, but it’s also great for those who want to study and photograph nature. Along Beaver Creek, a 1.26mile loop trail leads hikers through marsh, wet prairies, woodland pools and scrub shrub wetlands.

Greene County Parks and Trails Primitive Camping sites are available at Narrows Reserve, Jacoby Road Canoe Launch, Constitution Park, Mill Bridge Launch and Old Town Reserve.

Shopper’s Delight

Beavercreek: With a wide range of pricing and styles, there is something for almost any shopper (and diner) who visits The Mall at Fairfield Commons. There are more than 100 specialty shops in addition to 20 dining options.

Still looking for more in Beavercreek?

The Greene Town Center is just 20 minutes south of the Mall at Fairfield Commons, and offers an open-air shopping experience with upscale retail and dining options alike.

Shop Yellow Springs: For a more eclectic shopping experience, check out some of the shops in Yellow Springs. One option is Junk Diva, which sells repurposed architecture, vintage items and garden accessories. There’s also The Blue Butterfly, which offers unique gifts and home décor.

In addition, there’s a slew of clothing boutiques, including Import House, Julia Etta’s Trunk, Kismet and Lady Loom.

You should make a point of going to a few galleries as well, since creative expression is such an integral part of the Yellow Springs community. Check out Village Artisans Gallery for starters, but if you want to delve deeper, you can contact local artists to see their studios, such as Miami Valley Pottery and Cglazart.

Shop Xenia: If you are in the market for jewelry or clothing, check out Tiffany Jewelers INC. on West Main Street.

Though you won’t find any tiny blue boxes or bags, this local shop has a rich history dating back to 1848.

The Future is Female

Activism and social issues drive multimedia artist’s work

By Taylor Woodhouse

WHILE ART IS MELISSA VOGLEY WOODS’ first

love, activism might be a close second.

Having grown up as a self-described “distracted kid,” the Columbus resident says art has always been her passion. It has led to a lifelong pursuit of truth and identity, with her art as the mode of exploration.

“I remember being in class and thinking, ‘This doesn’t relate to being an artist,’ so I just wouldn’t do it,” she says, laughing.

Woods has studied an impressively diverse array of mediums. While she started her career in realism, her art has since morphed into abstract pieces that have everything and nothing in common with one another. Her studio is filled with paintings on canvases large and small, and a carefully curtained-off section for plastering. She even dabbles in video and sculpture.

While her methods are varied, all of her art comes from a couple of key inspirations that have followed her over the course of her career. She is focused on the idea of how femininity is expressed, and how it has been expressed over time through art – and, perhaps even more importantly, how society has been repressing female artists through the ages.

“People that come to museums want to see male artists because they’re simply more famous, because that is dictated by sexism and society,” Woods says.

Per an essay by arts writer and producer Camille Gajewski, women have been systematically shut out of critical and popular arts throughout history. When you look at the most vaunted artists of even the last few hundred years, very few of the most famous ones are women. There are many reasons for Melissa Vogley Woods this. The first is that for a very long time, art

52

cityscenecolumbus.com | April/May 2018

Sounding

pursued by women was seen more as crafts or female pastime than an actual discipline.

This, combined with persistent gender biases, meant that up until the 1960s, very few women received wide recognition as artists.

The preeminent galleries of the world are disproportionately filled with the work of men.

Only about 30 percent of artists represented by commercial galleries (in the United States) are women.

-National Museum of Women in the Arts

Woods has been preoccupied by this dichotomy of power and representation for a long time. The way she has expressed this idea, however, has changed drastically.

While she originally presented this discourse

Below: Vibrant Matter

with strongly realistic femme figures at the start of her career, she has since shifted to abstract concepts that can better explore the subtleties of the female journey.

“I felt like figure was too singular, too obvious,” she says. “I wanted to show the contrast between a powerful thing and a less powerful thing; the conflict in the world.”

Today, her art is filled with vibrant colors and soft shapes, offset by powerful arches inspired by Roman architecture. The unique folded shapes often featured centrally on her canvases are actually derived from the shape of stacked quilts. They represent art by women that is often owned by museums and never put on display.

Like quilts, which are often put in storage and rarely used, these pieces of art are frequently forgotten. But even without that background knowledge, the viewer feels an unmistakable femininity in the softly blended shapes, thrown even more sharply into relief by the solid, geometric arches that represent a male-dominated society.

Rainbow Whip

Woods’ next series will continue exploring the shapes that have become familiar in her pieces, though she wants to experiment more with binaries versus color, introducing more contrasting shades of black with her typically bright palettes. She continues to paint while delving into other art forms, such as video and sculpture, with the goal of creating immersive and interactive exhibits where the different mediums flow together harmoniously.

“The painting is more subtle because it’s abstract and based in tradition and history,” she says. “The video is a connection to femme performativity and the performance of the female self as it relates to value and feminism.”

While Woods knows the average viewer may not understand the whole picture of her work at first viewing, she hopes it will spur more conversation about representation in art. Looking to the future, she urges women to support each other in the arts, and galleries to look past gender and strive to include more art by women in their portfolios.

CRITIQUE With Michael McEwan

The Painter’s Eye Featuring Blue Table with Plate of Cherries

by Lowell Tolstedt

THE LIVELY ART SCENE we have in

Columbus is due in part to the many artists trained at the Columbus College of Art & Design.

One instructor in particular, Lowell Tolstedt, has mentored thousands of artists and instructors. Tolstedt served as dean of fine arts for 24 years, but I think it is fair to say he is one of the masters respected by the whole community. I was honored to be asked by Tolstedt to adjunct at CCAD, where I could see the large group of the best of the best work in harmony under his leadership.

Tolstedt is known for his exquisite drawings done in silverpoint, gold point and colored pencil. His works range in scale from intimate to mural. His subjects, chosen from everyday life and experience, are investigated with a sensitive and penetrating intellect. His drawings are often iconic presentations, simultaneously recalling the American tradition of still-life painting and engaging the viewer with contemporary questions about the fundamental relationship among reality, perception, abstraction and creation.

“Lowell Tolstedt’s meticulous colored pencil and metal point drawings of food and flowers celebrate the act of looking and the powerful physical sensations that we often experience through objects,” wrote Katherine A. Wat, then curator of exhibitions at the Akron Art Museum, for a 2005 exhibition at the Canton Museum of Art. “… By adjusting the pressure he places on the tips of his pencils and sharpened sticks of gold, silver and platinum, he suggests an array of textures and achieves remarkable depth of color.”

Exceptional: 25 Diverse Masterworks in Varied Media by Ohio Artists (1858-2018), featuring the work of Tolstedt and others, is on display at Keny Galleries in German Village April 27-June 15. CS
