I floated for an hour and I liked it: my surprisingly relaxing and invigorating experience in a sensory deprivation tank

Posted on May 11, 2018 by Tom Ingram

I was nervous. I’m not typically claustrophobic. I get antsy toward the end of trans-Atlantic flights, but otherwise do well in enclosed spaces. A sensory deprivation tank, though, is very different from a crowded airplane. You’re alone, in total darkness. The water temperature is set so that within a few minutes, you no longer feel it against your skin. Suspended and in repose for an hour, you are left to yourself. I was nervous, but,…

Cocktails: summer sipping recipes

As I sit at my laptop and begin to write this article, it is still early April and the weather is seesawing daily between the 40s and 80s. Hopefully by the time you are reading this the weather will have settled down a bit, and warmer weather will be here to stay, at least for a while. As we transition from winter to spring, cocktails change from the dark cocktails of winter to a light,…

Julianne David: one artist’s journey from Instagram to Columbus’ newest fine art gallery

Posted on May 8, 2018 by Tom Ingram

Julianne David works out of her dining room. The space is intended to be a dining room, anyway, but is given over entirely to canvas and paint. Not that David has much time to work. “I squeeze in [art] during nap times, after bed, before they wake,” she says of finding time for art while raising three sons. “They like to help me paint.” Painting was not her first path, or even her second. She…
