Fabricating the Iconic Creating the Illusion: Costumes and Characters from the Paramount Pictures Archive makes its debut at the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio By Alex Curran-Cardarelli
BORN AND RAISED in Lancaster, Ohio, Randall Thropp is now on the West Coast,
living as Paramount Pictures’ costume archivist. Although Thropp is busy with his new Hollywood career, he still manages to bring some of the L.A. excitement back to his hometown. In the past, Thropp has brought two Edith Head exhibitions to the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio, bringing in people from Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati and even Canada. This summer, Thropp is hosting his third exhibition at DACO and hopes to bring in an even larger crowd. While his first two exhibitions were centered on the Edith Head collection, this exhibition has never been done before. From The Addams Family to Forrest Gump, Creating the Illusion: Costumes and Characters from the Paramount Pictures Archive, running through Aug. 12, is the first time Paramount Pictures has showcased more modern costumes, some of which have never been publicly displayed. “These costumes don’t get out of Hollywood very often,” says Thropp. “Also it’s a nice cross section of characters that have been made from Paramount Films. Some of them may be very identifiable, while others you may not really think about.” At this exhibition, you will discover that the “metal” helmets from Transformers: The Last Knight are practically weightless, and that the turtles from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were generated with motion capture suits. “You think you’re seeing some guy in a turtle costume,” says Thropp,“but everything was actually generated by a computer.” Today, there are motion capture suits that allow characters to come to life on a green screen. “This is something that’s really evolved in the last 20 years. ... It’s the modern technology of creating the illusion,” says Thropp. Over the years, a lot has changed when it comes to designing costumes and sets. “In The Wizard of Oz, the Emerald City didn’t really exist, that was all hand painted on a glass slide ... but now, everything’s digital,” says Thropp. Along with the aid of technology, new sophisticated designs and materials have helped shape the illusion of costumes, such as the helmets from Transformers: The Last Knight. While they look like metal, they’re actually made out of plastic or fiberglass. “But they’re so beautifully done and articulated and aged,” says Thropp. “They look like they’re the real thing.” In addition, the exhibition includes many other iconic costumes. 6

“This is not about vintage costumes per se,” says Thropp, “but about costumes that really define the characters.” Some of these iconic costumes include the blue sequin dresses from Dreamgirls, Count Olaf’s smoking jacket from A Series of Unfortunate Events and Morticia’s black, floor-length dress from The Addams Family. The costumes invite the audience to think deeper into the relationship between the designer and the costume and to examine the intricacies that create the illusion of a character. “I like tapping into people’s nostalgias,” says Thropp, “and let’s face it, the ’80s and ’90s are now people’s nostalgia.” It’s with this idea in mind that Thropp made sure to include costumes from Coming to America, which he says is the “new classic.” He adds that Coming to America’s imaginary country echoes nicely that of the popular Marvel film, Black Panther.

HEALTH
Local Efforts, National Crisis Ohio experts team up to combat the nationwide opioid crisis By Emily Real
UNFORTUNATELY, IT’S NO longer news that the country, and
particularly Ohio, is experiencing an opioid crisis. According to the Ohio Department of Health, in 2016, Ohio saw a significant increase in the number of unintentional overdose deaths, largely due to increasing amounts of stronger synthetic drugs like fentanyl. On the upside, while the frequency of overdose deaths due to illegal opioid use went up, the report also showed that prescription drug overdose deaths were at the lowest they’ve been since 2009. Dr. Mark Hurst, medical director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and interim medical director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), attributes this recent decline in prescription opioid drug overdoses to the reduced number of opioid painkiller prescriptions. Hurst says this is especially important, as overuse of prescription opiates often leads to the use of illegal opiates like heroin and fentanyl. So, with the reduction in overdoses from prescription opioid painkillers, a reduction in illegal opiate overdoses should follow. “The continued increase in opioid-related deaths reaffirms that we still have much work to do,” Hurst says. “But, Ohio is still seeing important progress in reducing the number of prescription opioids available for abuse. This progress is significant because prescription opioid abuse is frequently a gateway to heroin and fentanyl use later on.” According to ODH, Ohio is investing about $1 billion each year to help communities battle drug abuse and addiction at the local level, including funding to help increase access to treatment and prevention resources, and improve law enforcement practices. Among these practices, Ohio is encouraging communities to purchase naloxone. The drug, also known by the brand name Narcan, can help stop an overdose as it’s happening. This offers the opportunity to link overdose victims with treat10

ment plans instead of simply sending them to prison, and provide stable and safe halfway houses to help Ohioans struggling with addiction to recover. While these practices are important, says Mark Partridge, many rural areas of Ohio

aren’t seeing much help come their way. Partridge is chair and professor in The Ohio State University’s department of agricultural, environmental and developmental economics. “Enacting new laws to take down pill mills and lessen access to prescription opioid drugs alone isn’t going to fix the problem,” Partridge says. “As it now stands, many people in rural areas of Ohio have extremely limited access to medication-assisted treatment, which is a particularly critical issue in the rural areas of southwest Ohio where opioid abuse rates are high, but local access to treatment is limited.” According to a 2017 analysis from OSU, medication-assisted treatment has been shown to be a clinically effective and cost-efficient approach to treating opioid addiction. The most common medications used in the treatment of opioid addiction are methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. These medications can stop the effects of an overdose as well as help those recovering from addiction with symptoms of withdrawal. Despite this, Ohio has only 26 certified methadone treatment centers and 377 doctors who are certified to prescribe buprenorphine. Mike Betz, co-author of the report and assistant professor in OSU’s department of human sciences, also says the focus should be shifted away from closing down “pill mills and toward treating those who are already addicted to opioids.” “We need a two-pronged approach,” Betz says. “Treatment, and a leg-up economically through investments in the education, skills, physical health and mental health of Ohioans.” CS

It’s Alive!
Actors’ Theatre of Columbus revives a monster classic By Laura Cole
SINCE THE PUBLICATION of Mary Shelley’s legendary novel Frankenstein in the early
1800s, there have been several stage imitations and more than 50 film adaptations. In 1823, Richard Brinsley Peake presented the theatrical adaptation Frankenstein, or the Dangers of Presumption as the very first reworking of the novel. The play was the first and only version Shelley attended. It’s said she remarked later to her father after the show, “I was much amused.” The Actors’ Theatre of Columbus will take audiences back in time June 21-July 15 by presenting the original stage version of Frankenstein, keeping in mind its rich history and approval from the author herself. “We will pay homage to the story we all know and love while examining it from a slightly different angle,” says Mandy Fox, show director. Fox says, through the original retelling, audiences can expect a story quite different from the one that has become so recognizable through popular culture. “One of the most striking differences is that the Universal movie has the brain of a criminal being mistakenly transplanted into the monster, and the play shows a gradual progression of events that lead the monster to seek revenge,” says Fox. “In one version, the monster is inherently evil and, in the other, the monster turns toward cruelty after being repeatedly rejected.” While the biggest challenge of presenting this version of the play is dealing with audience expectations of the typical Frankenstein story they have come to know through recent film adaptations, Actors’ Theatre is confident in its production. “This version of Frankenstein is a fast-paced, much-beloved tale with music, love and tragedy,” says Fox. “A creepy summer evening.” CS

Band’s vintage reimaginings of modern-day music highlight festival’s stage offerings By Garth Bishop
Postmodern Jukebox
June 2018 | cityscenecolumbus.com
15
EVER WONDER WHAT a contemporary pop song would sound like reimagined as an old-time jazz, swing, big band, orchestral or Motown production? Think Bruno Mars by way of Benny Goodman, or Lady Gaga by way of the Platters, or the Foo Fighters by way of Billie Holiday. That’s the style of Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, which headlines the Columbus Arts Festival’s Bicentennial Park stage at 9 p.m. on June 8. The ensemble will give the first major free, national-level concert in the festival’s history. Postmodern Jukebox got its start on YouTube in 2009, presenting old-fashioned cover videos of popular songs by a variety of talented musicians. It had a major viral hit – the first to hit 1 million views – with its 2013 cover of “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, with vocals by Robyn Adele Anderson. Bradlee is a top-notch pianist, Anderson says, and will rearrange chords, add more complex chords, change tempo and make other tweaks, sometimes with help from the band’s singers, to completely transform a song. The band was not originally conceived as a touring production, but its music became so popular that it began taking its show on the road in 2014. The live show combines vaudeville, cabaret and Broadway musical sensibilities, featuring five musicians, five singers, one tap dancer and a whole host of costume changes. “It’s kind of a live revue of a selection of songs from the YouTube channel,” Anderson says. “There are amazing costumes to go with the performances, and there are amazing dance numbers.” The band works hard to connect with members of the audience, encouraging them at points to clap or sing along, and even suggesting they arrive in their best old-fashioned attire. Among the most popular covers in Postmodern Jukebox’s live set list are a Motown version of Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off,” a Motown reimaging on Beyoncé’s “Halo” and – one of Anderson’s tunes, and among her favorites – a New Orleansstyle production of “I’m Not the Only One” by Sam Smith. On Saturday, June 9, Bicentennial Park stage will headline the funky stylings of G. Love & Special Sauce, a Philadelphia-based trio known for their laid-back R&B sound.

Are You Going to Eat Are you sure you know enough about food safety? By Rocco Falleti
80 Years Later
On Jan. 4, 2011, President Obama signed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). By signing this act, Obama secured the first major overhaul to the food safety regulations since 1938. To put this in perspective, in 1938, there were no vaccines to prevent chicken pox or polio, and the first computer was seven years away from being built. “The FSMA affects what happens from the farm to the loading dock,” says Gina Kramer, executive director at Savour Food Safety International and president of Savor Safe Food. “FSMA was focused on moving regulatory work in food safety from reactionary to preventive surrounding food-borne illnesses.” Thanks to the FSMA, food facilities are now required to have written plans to prevent food-borne illnesses. “The biggest change is to have companies say what they are doing from start to finish, and then doing what they say,” Kramer says. “What good companies do is employ a high quality standard. If there is a deviation, they can correct without causing harm or injury to a customer.”
Savour Food Safety International and Savor Safe Food, based in Worthington, help businesses with food prepared onsite learn to comply with health department regulations.

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2018
Who Can I Trust?
Organic? Non-GMO? Free range? Locally sourced? With such a variety of labels – each claiming to be safer and more healthful than the last – it can be hard to tell which to trust. “There are so many points of view on social media, and it’s hard to navigate what is scientifically proven as right with food,” says Linda Bernard, quality assurance and research and development subject matter expert at Savour. Misconception runs amok in food safety and nutrition arenas. Even the term “stomach flu” is widely misinterpreted. “There is no such thing as a stomach flu. More often than not, you are sick from food poisoning,” Kramer says. And that’s not all. Take, for example, a company such as Chipotle. Though the
company prides itself on sustainability and local sourcing, it suffered a blow after an E. coli outbreak in early 2017. How can a company that strives to be so diligent still serve unsafe food? “Chipotle grew because of consumer demand for local, and I love what they stand for – ‘food with integrity’ – but people don’t realize local food does not equate to safer food,” Kramer says. “Bacteria, parasites and fungi do not discriminate. It does not matter how locally it is grown or processed.”
Your Pantry Isn’t 100 Percent Safe, Either
Whether it’s organic, locally sourced or not, everyone is susceptible to food-borne illness. So with all this trust required, what can food safety novices do to protect themselves and their families?
That? Proper Food Temperatures Poultry: 165 degrees Fahrenheit Ground meat: 165 degrees Fahrenheit Red meat and fish: 145 degrees Fahrenheit Chill leftovers within two hours at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below “Buy a food thermometer; it is well worth the investment,” Kramer says. “Also, do not worry about rinsing off meats before cooking. The heat from the oven will kill off any germs that may be present.”
Good food safety starts in the home. It becomes simpler if you separate food preparation into four categories: cleaning, separating, cooking and chilling. “These are the same actions for anyone preparing food in restaurants or grocery stores as well,” Kramer says. Be sure to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after interacting with foods like raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs. Be sure to separate raw meat and poultry from other foods that may not be cooked in containers, ensuring juices cannot drip on other food.
A Leap of Faith
Columbus still remains a major test market for fast food establishments. Chipotle’s now-defunct burger spinoff, Tasty Made, opened its only location in Lancaster. Sbarro’s Pizza Cucinova concept debuted in the Grandview Heights area. The Wendy’s Innovation Center is in Dublin. And
the testing doesn’t end there; all over Columbus, the food scene is growing. With all of this going on, a certain level of blind trust is required to eat with the peace of mind that your food is safely handled and prepared. “Word of mouth is a big component that is an easy way to figure out what is safe or not,” Bernard says. “This is both good and bad for the restaurant industry.” Restaurants are held to high standards and are required to be investigated by the FDA to ensure that their practices are safe for consumers. There are four color-coded signs to empower the consumer to make a healthy decision. Green: All standards have been conducted and met, according to the local public health department Yellow: There are uncorrected violations that have not been corrected since last inspection White: Increased frequency of inspections Red: Restaurant has been ordered to close
“Consumers don’t know that all this work happens in the background. … If a company passes an inspection from the government that their food is safe, those food safety regulations are only the minimum standards,” Kramer says.
Factors as simple as paying attention to the traffic in the restaurant and overall upkeep can go a long way in determining safety practices. Though you can choose how you want your food cooked, there are requirements for consumer advisories on menus stating that raw or undercooked meals can result in foodborne illnesses. And if something seems wrong, trust your gut, or you’ll be hearing from it later. “When a chef or a company blatantly talks about food preparation that goes against proper food safety practices, you don’t want to go there,” Kramer says.
It’s a Work in Progress
Though it’s often hard to control what happens behind the scenes with the food we consume, we as the consumer have the power to make the right decision. All too often food safety is assumed. Small actions such as storing foods separately and speaking up about restaurants that have caused illness to you or people you know can go a long way. “There is definitely a misconception among people who love food, thinking that if food is sourced locally it is safer,” Kramer says. “The focus needs to be on how to (make) food safety and nutrition to go hand-in-hand, and both together affect our health.” CS Rocco Falleti is an assistant editor.

In-house Statehouse restaurant serves up seasonal menu By Lydia Freudenberg
Since 2011, Louie Pappas and his partner, Demetra Stefanidis, have owned and operated Graze, a health-focused restaurant with a unique locale: the Ohio Statehouse. “I’ve personally met John Glenn in there, Jim Tressel, and a lot of state celebrities and heroes,” Pappas says. “There have been some unique things along the way that I would have never seen or participated in had (Graze) not been there.” The concept behind Graze is farm to table: everything is locally sourced, resulting in a seasonal menu. “I think, for people, it’s important to know where their food is coming from,” Pappas says. “Trying to be supportive of local vendors is really important to us.” Graze serves up breakfast, sandwiches, soups, salads, and a variety of pasta-or meat-focused plates. Customers can order dishes like a vegan breakfast burrito, turkey avocado club, Korean barbecue bowl or crispy chicken Cobb salad. “We’ve kind of gotten a better feel of what the customers are looking for, so this menu reflects a lot of customer favorites,” Pappas says. “And this is kind of the direction we feel that we need to keep moving toward.” Lydia Freudenberg is a contributing editor.

Eating local continues to get easier with the 30 Mile Meal By Alex Curran-Cardarelli
30 Mile Meal Participants
With an increasing demand for sustainability and healthy living has come an increased demand for local food. Eating local cuts down travel time from farm to table, reduces carbon dioxide emissions and increases the freshness of food – a win-win for the environment and the Orchard House Bed and Breakfast consumer. With this idea, the 30 Mile Meal was born. Starting in Athens in 2010, the ACEnet and Athens County Convention and Visitors Bureau joined forces to bring local products within 30 miles of Athens restaurants to the plates of happy eaters. After its success in Athens, five other communities picked up the 30-mile meal project, including Licking County. County residents and visitors alike welcome the tasty and delicious food and drink that have emerged from the 30 Mile Meal. From farmers’ markets to restaurants, Licking County has used the 30 Mile Meal to increase business, promote local farms, and provide healthier and fresher food to customers.

Select Sustainability
Restaurants are stepping up their food sourcing standards By Laura Cole
Making Changes The farm-to-table movement is booming as restaurants all around the world, even many fast food chains, are making changes to become more sustainable. Chefs are rotating menus to cook what is in season in order to offer guests the freshest possible produce at its peak. Restaurants are forming relationships with local suppliers to get the best meats and greens. Some restaurants are even starting to grow their own ingredients in order to offer the highest level of freshness. Paying Attention As customers, there are many things that can help us determine if the restaurant we are dining at is serving sustainable food. • Listen: If your chef or server talks about seasonal produce, fresh ingredients or local sources, this is a good sign. • Look: See if the menu changes each season and notice if the restaurant has a garden in which it grows some of its own ingredients. • Research: Check out the restaurant’s website, call ahead or use mobile apps like HappyCow to find sustainable restaurants near you that offer vegan or vegetarian food.

20 Years Singing the Blues
Gahanna celebrates two decades of the Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival By Jenny Wise
WHEN THE CREEKSIDE Blues & Jazz Festi-
val returns to Gahanna June 15-17, it will celebrate its 20th anniversary with three days of music, tasting experiences and family fun. Musical acts such as David Sanborn, the Fabulous Thunderbirds featuring Kim Wilson, Davina and the Vagabonds, Will Freed Band, Angela Perley & the Howlin’ Moons, and the Urban Jazz Coalition featuring Lin Roundtree will play across the festival’s four main stages. Though the festival boasts more than 50 performing acts and 90 hours of Ohio’s best blues and jazz music, there are plenty of other ways in which visitors can enjoy themselves. This year, you can choose from more than 20 food vendors, shop regional artisan booths and much more. “One of the non-music highlights of the Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival is the (variety of) tasting opportunities offered during the event,” says Visit Gahanna Executive Director Laurie Jadwin. On Friday, Watershed Distillery will offer samples of cocktails crafted especially for the festival along with drink recipes and pairing suggestions. On Saturday, sample flights of bourbon and whiskey with Brown-Forman whiskey ambassador “Whiskey Pete,” and learn how to distinguish between the two. Gahanna’s new Noble Cut Distillery will be on hand Sunday, offering tastings of its unique new line of products that includes dark cherry flavored whiskey, apple flavored whiskey and a limoncello made from a 242-year-old Italian family recipe. Information on all tasting times and pricing, in addition to the full musical line-up, can be found at www.creeksidebluesandjazz.com. Planning to take the whole family? The Giant Eagle Family Fun Zone, located in Veterans Memorial Park, features free hands-on crafts and activities for kids of all ages. “The Musical Discovery Zone Stage, which is part of the Giant Eagle Family Fun Zone, offers
26

kids the chance to interact with local artists in workshops where they learn about rhythms and melody – even Irish dance,” says Jadwin. “Kids also can try out a variety of musical instruments (provided courtesy of Music Go Round in Gahanna), thus whetting their appetites for music and the arts.” CS Jenny Wise is an assistant editor.

Dive Head-First into Summer
Turn your pool into a retreat for family and guests By Amanda DePerro
In central Ohio, good weather only lasts for a few months, but that just means we have to enjoy it while we can. What better way to enjoy the blue skies, warm weather and happy company than a pool party? This home in Upper Arlington features everything anyone could want from a pool: a wading area, beautiful perimeter trees and, of course, the party barn. If you’re searching for inspiration in your own back yard, look no further.

the back yard, separating the pool from the lawn. These stones effectively create levels in the back yard, creating a picturesque view of swimmers against the tree-lined back drop and small stream running along the yard’s perimeter. The green space between the home and pool creates the perfect spot for sunbathers. If you want to set out a towel, beach umbrella and read a book, you’re a safe distance from those splashing in the water, too.

Summer Nights Welcome Rooftop Heights A look at the growth of rooftop bars in central Ohio By Alex Curran-Cardarelli
THERE’S NO BETTER way to welcome
summer than to spend time relaxing outdoors. For those of us with demanding lifestyles, finding time to do so can be difficult, but isn’t that what happy hour is all about? Rooftop bars have been popping up all over central Ohio for happy hour aficionados to kick back and unwind after a long day of work. The rooftop environment allows city dwellers and suburbanites alike to escape the stress of the day and enjoy a cold drink, fresh air, good company and, of course, a magnificent view. One of the many rooftop bars in the Columbus area is Vaso, located at the AC Hotel by Marriott in Dublin’s Bridge Park development. With an express glass elevator, an option of savory small dishes, and interior and exterior bars, Vaso is your own personal oasis. Vaso General Manager Orcun Turkay says the rooftop location is a “refreshing and unique option in the area that goes beyond the existing restaurants or hotel choices.” Turkay says both guests and locals enjoy gathering on the rooftop to enjoy the beautiful spring and summer weather. Though there are many restaurants and bars in Columbus, rooftops take the relaxing experience of happy hour to new heights. CS

Venture to the Valley
Youngstown and Mahoning County offer trails, tastings, tee times and more By Jenny Wise
JUST 10 MILES west of the Pennsylvania state line – halfway be-
tween New York City and Chicago – is a place bursting with life, good music, great food and adventure. Spend a weekend discovering Youngstown and get to know the trails, tastings and tee times Mahoning County has to offer.
Trails
This year, Ohio celebrates its Year of the Trails, and Youngstown has plenty of opportunities to join the party. Mill Creek MetroParks offers 4,400 acres of public lands, including 45 miles of trails, and facilities including the famous Lanterman’s Mill & Covered Bridge and Fellows Riverside Gardens. Lanterman’s Mill operates today just as it did in 1845, thanks to a new waterwheel that was added in April. Modeled after similar bridges in the 1800s that farmers would use to access the mill, the Covered Bridge allows visitors the chance to step back in time. You can even take the mill experience home with you in the form of preservative-free, stone-ground cornmeal, buckwheat and whole-wheat flour, all available in the mill gift shop.
Tastings
Mahoning County has a growing wine and beer scene, now home to seven wineries and four craft breweries. Mastropiétro Winery, the first winery in the county, opened in 2005 and is one of the only wineries in the area, with a thriving vineyard producing grapes for harvest. The winery sits on 14 acres of land in Berlin Center, just 25 minutes west of downtown Youngstown. Head south to The Vineyards at Pine Lake, the newest winery to open in Mahoning County, which is situated on 42 acres of land and complete with an event center and a tasting room. Guests can enjoy a meal and good wine with breath taking views, thanks to the vineyard’s lakefront location. If you have an affinity for craft beer, Youngstown has a few spots you can’t 44

miss. Downtown at Whistle & Keg, not only can you try as many brews as you like, you get to pour them yourself. As Ohio’s only self-pour taproom, this is the perfect place to satiate even the most adventurous drinker’s curiosity. In the old Smoky Hollow neighborhood east of Youngstown State University, there is an independent small-batch brewery and taproom with an unlikely façade. Noble Creature Cask House, one of the newest breweries in the area, calls a former brick church home. Built in 1923, this unique location provides an authentic, cozy atmosphere to accompany the brewery’s focus on aged sours, fine lagers, ales and kombucha.
Check out East Gorge Walk and West Gorge Trail at Millcreek for a scenic look into the area’s geographic beauties. The award-winning Gorge Trail consists of a two-mile loop of boardwalk along Mill Creek bordered by the stream and a massive wall of sandstone. Attracting more than 400,000 visitors a year, Fellows Riverside Gardens is a beautiful public garden located at the north end of Mill Creek Park. This 12-acre display garden features roses of all classes and seasonal displays of annuals, perennials, flowering bulbs and scenic vistas.

Thanks to its success during the height of the steel industry, Youngstown has more nationally ranked public courses in the region than any other part of the country, and has been ranked No. 4 in the nation for top-quality, public courses. Not only does the abundance of quality courses provide a variety of options, it also encourages competitive pricing and affordable green fees.

Emerging Inspiration
A look at the up-and-comers at this year’s Columbus Arts Festival By Garth Bishop
AN UNSETTLING SCHOOL assignment. An idle creative outlet. A cousin’s forgotten
set of art supplies. For a lot of people, these items might not merit a second thought. But for Ashley Snyder, Jackie Ayres and Sydney Denlinger, they were the beginnings of nowburgeoning careers in the arts. The three are among 10 central Ohio artists participating in the Columbus Arts Festival’s Emerging Artist program this year. The program, which has been part of the festival since 2011, offers spots in the festival’s highly selective artist line-up for individuals who have limited or no experience displaying their work in a festival setting. This year’s other Emerging Artist participants are Yani Sheng of Dublin, Kendall Kirchner of Worthington, Juliet Thibault of Marysville, and Toni Cross, Kaylyn Gouhin, Dimonde Hale and Andrea Kaiser of Columbus.
Jackie Ayres
Westerville resident Ayres used her fashion design degree from the Columbus College of Art & Design to work in corporate design for 17 years, but she eventually found herself looking for a way to do creative work with her hands. “I was sitting at a computer all day and I really wanted to do something (physical),” Ayres says. “So I loved the idea of coming back to something tactile.” Now, through her company, Dyetology, she makes hand-dyed apparel – mainly for women, and made with all-natural fibers such as cotton, rayon, linen and silk. Not only are natural fibers more comfortable to wear, she says, the colors produced when they’re dyed are amazing and vibrant. “I want pieces that ladies are going to keep and wear for a long time,” says Ayres. Ayres started Dyetology “unintentionally” five years ago, she says, but it’s become a serious business for her in the last three. And it’s long been an area of interest for her; five of the seven outfits she designed for her senior collection at CCAD were Jackie Ayres hand-dyed. 50

Dyetology’s Desert Rose Infinity Scarf
Her color palettes are inspired by nature, as well as found on Pinterest. She has countless screenshots on her phone from photos, social media posts and other sources of colors she likes. She also works with homeless shelters, primarily Faith Mission, donating socks. For every pair of socks sold, Dyetology will donate another pair. “(Socks are) the largest clothing need in a homeless shelter,” Ayres says. “I’m hoping, one sock at a time, we can make a difference.” Ayres’ work can be found at Melt Hot Yoga & Fitness in Westerville, as well as at www. dyetology.com.

Ashley Snyder
If it’s unusual to find an artist who can create photography, painting, mixed media and digital media, it’s decidedly rare to find one who combines all three. Snyder – of Sugar Grove, a village in Fairfield County – found herself inspired to combine multiple forms of artistic expression when a college class project took an unexpectedly dark turn. She was sick, stressed out, sleepdeprived, and dealing with personal tragedies and animosity with people in her life. Initially, she couldn’t figure out how to incorporate these concepts into her assignment, eventually realizing one medium just wouldn’t cut it. “I decided to mix my drawings with my photography and paint, and it turned out great,” Snyder says. The positive reaction to her creation only inspired Snyder more, giving her the confidence she needed to immerse herself further Ashley Snyder into her art, becoming the flashpoint for her artistic career. She’ll create each piece of art separately, then combine the images of them digitally, often looking for the perfect material for each image – for example, a length of industrial chain that will become a brain. But she never knows what a piece will look like when she starts it. “My process is very improvisational,” Snyder says. “I start with letting my imagination flow, and I follow it. I don’t know how I will get to my complete or what my complete will be.” All of Snyder’s work reflects her psyche, she says – the good and the bad around her and within her. She has been making art professionally since 2016. Some of her work can be found at www.galaxypalettestudio.com. Below: Forever and Always

Sydney Denlinger
Others had encouraged Grove City resident Denlinger to study art when she was younger, but she instead went to film school at Wright State University and eventually got a job as an information technologist. After she was laid off, with a lot of time on her hands, she picked Sydney Denlinger up a paintbrush that her cousin, an art major, had left at her house, along with some other supplies. “Lo and behold, I was really good at it,” Denlinger says. Initially producing paintings for her own amusement, she soon had visitors offering to buy the work off her walls, and decided to pursue art full-time. Her subject of choice: fan art based on video games, made primarily with acrylic paints. It’s proved spectacularly popular. “I would remember scenes from games that I would play, and it just spiraled from there,” Denlinger says. “That’s all people want. I can’t keep up with it.” Some of her pieces are direct tributes to specific scenes from games – a 16bit style portrait of Fox McCloud from 1993’s Star Fox for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, for instance. Others riff on more familiar scenes, such as a picture of Santa Claus and his sleigh reimagined as Super Mario Bros. villain, Bowser, being pulled by members of his Koopa Troop. She even put together a 20-canvas set of works based on classic arcade game Galaga, using color-changing automotive paints, as a commissioned project. “I do everything from Atari and (classic) arcade games to … a big Fallout piece,” Denlinger says. Denlinger streams her painting process almost every day on Twitch, allowing fans to watch her paint and even comment on her work in real time. Her channel can be found at www.twitch.tv/mete0ryt.

CRITIQUE With Michael McEwan
The Painter’s Eye Featuring Calibration by Luke Achterberg
“I never conceived of myself as anything other than a painter because my work came right through the raised surface, and color and objects applied to the surface.” – David Smith (1906-1965)
THE IDEA OF USING COLOR on sculpture isn’t new. Classical Greek sculpture,
which we see now as being various tints of white was, when new, lavishly embellished with color. David Smith spent most of his career studying color and sculpture. Combining the two in modernist sculpture was met with some harsh critical response at first. But it was he who opened the door for the generations to come, Luke Achterberg being one such artist. His work is remarkable for his flowing form and active color. Making several hundred pounds of steel defy gravity is no easy feat. Achterberg actually fabricates all his work by himself, and that he is also a certified welder who, like Smith, shows great care for the craft. This June, Sherrie Gallerie in the Short North will introduce Achterberg, a metal sculptor from Lexington, Kentucky. “Luke’s work has lyrical movement and beautiful color that I was attracted to. Sherrie Gallerie was in search of an artist working in metal whose work could go inside and outside,” says Sherrie Hawk, owner of Sherrie Gallerie. “Luke is that artist.” Achterberg is young, but already has an impressive list of exhibitions under his belt. He maintains his own active studio in Lexington, where he is preparing a body of work for a solo exhibition with Sherrie Gallerie. Summer is a great time to visit the Short North. Galleries are especially hit hard by the current construction and parking issues, and need your interest and support. Use Uber, the free COTA loop or take a group down. The streets are alive with people, and it is well worth the effort. CS Sherrie Gallerie 694 N. High St. Luke Achterberg at Sherrie Gallerie June 3-July 15 Biba Schutz and Karen Gilbert July 22-Sept. 1
