A Sense of the Music Within: Michael Stearns
by Kathryn M. Davis • Trend Magazine
Apr 27, 2009
If you’ve seen the 1999 video The Mystery of Chaco Canyon, narrated by Robert Redford, you’ve heard Michael Stearns’s music. The score for Chaco Canyon was an enormously significant factor in the success of this legendary account of Anna Sofaer’s discovery of an ancient spiraling petroglyph known as the Sun Dagger. The narrative—through its stunning visuals and remarkable sound track—engulfs viewers in the thoroughly believable sensation of having slipped through a wormhole nearly 1,000 years into the past.
Back to the Future

Remember the original Star Trek? When sexy Lieutenant Uhura was always batting her long lashes and telling Captain Kirk that some kind of mysterious cloud was approaching? Well, a strange cloud of art and industriousness called Meow Wolf has formed in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and it appears to be spreading. It is mysterious enough to defy the conventions of ready description.
From Sculpture to Jewelry: The Lives of Hollie Ambrose
by Kathryn M. Davis • Trend Magazine
Apr 27, 2009
When it comes to jewelry by Hollie Ambrose, say adiós to the linear and hola to the sculptural. Bid adieu to precious gems and bon jour to vintage French buttons, recycled watch dials, and flea-market glass. Truly, with Ambrose at the designing helm, you really can’t count anything out with finality. For this artist, everything “has a compelling history, a certain energy—I like to think about who could have worn” the items she recycles into her work.
In Guad We Trust

Like many Mexican-born Catholics, the young mother crossed the border into the United States without the proper papers. Traveling up the arduous and historic Camino Real from Mexico City, she arrived in Santa Fe on August 15, 2008, the Feast Day of the Assumption of the Blessed VirginMary. Known as Guadalupe, she had been scheduled to arrive in this country earlier in the summer, but torturous red tape halted her journey temporarily in July, despite several sponsors who vouched for her good character.
A Progressive Vibe

Tony and Gayatri Malmed met and fell in love on the road in Afghanistan in 1970. The pair later traveled into India and lived in an ashram, and that’s where Tony learned traditional methods of Indian jewelry-making. The couple later discovered Santa Fe while visiting friends, where the eclectic atmosphere was immediately arresting: “It was funky and creative and comfortable,” says Gayatri. Santa Fe was, adds Tony, “progressive and regressive at the same time, and it still is.”
The funky and comfortable vibe that they feel in Santa Fe is reflected in their store, Spirit of the Earth. The roomy space (by downtown standards) is awash in the rich desert reds and river-rock bl...
Design Vocabulary
by Maggie York-Worth • Trend Magazine
Jun 10, 2008
At Patina Gallery, owners Ivan and Allison Barnett are interested in the surface of things. Even the name reflects their devotion to “beauty over time,” says Allison. The couple have displayed jewelry, wood and clay sculpture, and textiles in their downtown space since 1999, when they wanted, says Allison, to fill the “void in the [fine] craft venue” in Santa Fe.
Now the two show what they consider “soul-stirring” work. The phrase has become a business conviction reflected in the couple’s sense that a deeply refined personal aesthetic can also stir others with the glories of what can be made.
Says Ivan, “We do not pick based upon marketability; we pick based...
