T. Kelly Wilson talks design and wonderment in feature with The Republic
The architectural awe of Columbus quickly became evident to a first-time visitor about seven years ago.

Looking at the ornate collars artist Jesse Mathes creates, it’s hard to believe they begin with a single copper wire. Mathes introduced her collection of ornate collars to Denver’s fashion community during Denver Fashion Week(end)’s Fall ’17 show, adding a sculptural dimension to the runway looks.

“The Woody Allen Reboot You Won’t See at the Oscars (or Maybe Anywhere),” about a remake of “Annie Hall” with a cast from a Manhattan senior center, began more than 700 miles from New York City, at Indiana University, where Matt Starr took a class about New York’s downtown avant-garde art world.

“Do you have sex often?”

Ms. Chernick and Mr. Miller, who are friends and occasional dinner companions, are the stars of an unusual movie that you may never get to see. Mr. Miller plays a character named Alvy Singer. Ms. Chernick, who grew up in the Bronx, is Annie Hall, from Chippewa Falls. The movie, which includes the dialogue above, is “My Annie Hall.”
If spontaneous, self-taught genius in step with the times exists, surely Thornton Dial’s unrelenting art is proof. Dial (1928-2016) came from a region of Alabama where African-Americans, including an uncle of his, frequently made sculpture, screens and fences from metal junk welded together. By 1981, when he could make art full time, he had flattened his assemblages into thick, painting-like rectangles, adding softer materials, especially hooked rugs and clothing, as well as paint.
