PUBLISHER’S NOTE

DAVID ROBIN
SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE Dave Grusin/Lee Ritenour benefit concert at The Lensic, Mr. Ritenour asked the audience if we realized what a treasure we had in Grusin, a Santa Fe resident. While I completely agree with Ritenour’s characterization, I couldn’t help but notice some of the other treasures sitting in the audience. In my row alone there was noted jazz pianist John Rangel and his highly accomplished wife, singer Barbara Bentree. The rest of the audience was peppered with treasures from various other walks of Santa Fe life. I would posit that most folks in Santa Fe are treasures within the many individual worlds that make up our city. In the literary field alone, the list is vast; the talents of those writers and the impact they make on our community certainly qualifies them as treasures. In many cases the impact of a local treasure reaches far beyond our county and state lines. From celebrity personal trainers to investment consultants, this town is full of talented men and women. The great news for us is that many of their talents emerge from behind the adobe walls for us to enjoy—as evidenced by Dave Grusin’s amazing performance. Keep an eye on NOW magazine. We’ll do our best to highlight our local treasures and inform you when they’ll be shining in our community.

Santa Fe Literary Review
On Thursday, November 13, the 2014 Santa Fe Literary Review launches with a reading and reception outside the Santa Fe Community College’s Visual Arts Gallery. The 270-page volume features poetry, fiction, nonfiction, short screenplays, visual art, and more from 200 of the 2,500 writers and artists who submitted pieces for consideration. Preference was given to work by SFCC students, faculty, and staff and anyone associated with the institution, but pieces from contributors around the world were also included. “What makes this literary review special is that it doesn’t just include student work like you tend to find in literary reviews published by other community colleges,” says SFCC associate professor Miriam Sagan, who serves as the review’s faculty advisor. “We have work from extremely creative people all over campus, including faculty in the math department and staff in food services.” Sagan, who’s also a poet and the director of SFCC’s creative writing program, founded the review nine years ago. Her goal was to give creative writing students the experience of taking a publication through the full production process—from reading and selecting submissions to laying out and designing pages. Local contributors are invited to read their published pieces during the November 13 reception, where 500 free copies of the review will be available to the public. The publication can also be read online at sfcc.edu. Anyone interested in being featured in the 2015 edition should send submissions to Sagan by December 1.—Emily Van Cleve Santa Fe Literary Review reception, free, November 13, 5–7 pm, SFCC Visual Arts Gallery, 6401 Richards, sfcc.edu
LEGENDARY PICTURES/SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT
gunning down goons with pizazz
Keanu Reeves (above) and Adrianne Palicki (left) in John Wick
One kill stands out among many in John Wick. Wick—a retired assassin played by Keanu Reeves—claps his hand over a bad guy’s mouth, stabs him, and stares deep into his eyes, holding the look for several seconds as the man dies. Wick is not being intense; he’s being deliberate. I’m killing you, the look says, but these are the paths we chose. With just that look (no dialogue), we understand Wick’s particular cold professionalism. He’s the best at what he does. John Wick is great fun, a deep dive into an underworld of golden coins, eccentric villains, muscle cars, and the killer’s code of conduct (“no violence in the Continental”). John Wick the character, however, is stoic and solemn, tethering the film from orbiting out into farce. Wick has powerful, extremely personal motivations
for wanting the Russian mob in New York City wiped out. Get this: They killed his puppy. Bad move. Wick’s pursuit of righteous vengeance takes him through dozens of goons stacked in a bad-guy hierarchy reminiscent of video games. A main boss is at the top of the pyramid. Under the main boss are sub-bosses whose prominent faces make them easy to remember from previous scenes. These sub-bosses are especially hard to kill. They have extra training or something. Another tier down are the nameless goons who attack in waves but die easy. Wick mostly shoots them at close range. The first time we watch him work, Wick kills 12 men in just a few rooms of his house by dancing around and blasting their faces precisely. The pinnacle of pistol action remains The Killer, John Woo’s 1989 action classic in which Ah Jong (Chow Yun-Fat) shoots gangsters with a gun in each hand, alternating between left and right, keeping five balls in the air like a great juggler. John Wick is similar, perhaps even faster, but Wick trades up his weaponry as he climbs the badguy pyramid., going from pistols to a shotgun to an assault rifle to grenades. Ultimately, of course, there’s an epic fistfight in the rain. If this sounds like fun to you, John Wick must not be missed.—Phil Parker November 13, 2014 NOW

Sacred Body promoting well-being and self-respect via the performing arts by Emi ly Va n C le ve
AUDREY DERELL
Film and TV actress (and Santa Fe native) Aviva Baumann will be one of the performers in Sacred Body on November 14.
THE BODY IS A TEMPLE, and, according to the folks at the New Mexico Dance Coalition, it’s time to start worshiping. Enter Sacred Body, a multiplatform event presented by the NMDC that producer Tess Yong says “honors the sacred and sensuous in the human form and expression, and inspires a healthier relationship with the body.” Being held at The Lensic on November 14, Sacred Body brings together members of Northern New Mexico’s performing arts community for a concert that features modern, African, hip-hop and belly-dancing performances from artists such as Julie Brette Adams, Elise Gent, and Soriba Fofana. “Our dancers take turns exploring the body’s seven different chakras, which are the centers of spiritual energy,” notes Yong, who opens the concert with a shamanic dance celebrating the root chakra, the first and most physical of the seven. For an additional $75, those wanting to nourish their bodies can attend a VIP meal two hours before the show at the restaurant Dinner for Two. At 6:30 pm, all ticket holders can view related works by local painters, photographers, sculptors, jewelers, and mixed-media artists in an exhibit in The Lensic’s atrium. (The exhibit will also be on display at Wheelhouse Art, a gallery in Santa Fe’s Railyard district, after November 21).
Immediately following the performance, guests can attend the Sacred Body Dance Celebration, which features yoga dances, refreshments, face painting, and chair massages at The Palace Restaurant and Saloon. A $10 donation is requested. Proceeds from the concert will help jump-start the creation of the Young Adult Scholarship Program for Healing Movement Arts, which the NMDC will administer. Scheduled to launch this spring, the program will offer therapeutic services for young adults dealing with emotional and psychological trauma. Sacred Body, November 14, 7:30 pm, $25–$60, The Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco, sacredbodysantafe.com, ticketssantafe.org November 13, 2014 NOW

Sunstone Healing Arts by Ashle y M. Big g e r s
THE HOLIDAY SEASON MIGHT BE THE MOST wonderful time of year, but it can also be the most stressful. To ensure you’re actually feeling thankful on Thanksgiving, check out Sunstone Healing Arts, which offers several one-of-a-kind (at least in the City Different) healing treatments that can take you from harried to heavenly. Michelle Diggs opened Sunstone Healing Arts in February. After working as an international flight attendant for 13 years, she turned to yoga and massage school, and to local, organic foods, to transform her own health. Today she focuses on healing others with treatments like lomi lomi, a form of touch therapy that originated in her native Hawaii and that centers on full-body strokes, from the ankle to the shoulder. “It’s a very flowing massage,” Diggs says, noting that the treatment is fitting for people who are looking to relax rather than relieve pain. “It helps you switch into a different brain state of being able to let everything go,” she says. Diggs also offers Chi Nei Tsang, a Daoist abdominal massage that not only releases tension but also relieves digestive problems. The technique also benefits people who’ve gone through abdominal surgery or recently given birth. During the treatment, Diggs presses and holds points in the abdominal cavity, which is sometimes referred to as the “second brain” because of the millions of neurons that reside there. By tapping into the abdomen and into its signal-sending cells, Diggs creates physical and emotional release throughout the body. In the winter, Diggs uses hot stones in almost all her treatments. The stones are warm and comforting for her clients, and for Diggs they’re useful tools for “melting the muscles a little more,” she says. Applying coconut oil with sage is another way Diggs releases layers of tension, as is myofascial release therapy. The latter is a type of medical massage that focuses on the body’s connective tissues and uses very little oil or lotion. “A lot of people don’t even know it’s happening, but they like it,” Diggs says. “[The treatment] is a very effective way of releasing tension; it takes the nervous system out of 14

the fight-or-flight response.” To complement her work, Diggs encourages all forms of body movement, including yoga, dancing, cycling, and walking. In fact, clients who arrive at Sunstone Healing Arts by bike, foot, or train receive a 10 percent discount. If you can’t make it to Sunstone’s Lena Street location for a treatment, Diggs recommends a few simple practices for handling holiday stress at home. “Do any kind of deep-breathing technique,” she says. “Listen to your body and honor it by stretching, walking, and soaking—that’s the best.” Sunstone Healing Arts, 1600 Lena, Building C, #16, sunstonehealingarts.org

Pretty Faces: The Story of a Skier Girl by Cri stina Olds
HERE AND ABOVE: FREYA FENNWOOD
a new documentary seeks to inspire young women to follow their dreams TƑHE FILM PRETTY FACES—whose title is a reference to picturesque mountain slopes— isn’t your typical ski porn. The crowd-funded documentary is filled with footage of pro skiers and snowboarders hucking themselves off stunningly beautiful mountains, but the athletes are all women, and there’s a plot. Professional skier Lynsey Dyer grew frustrated when footage of her skiing was consistently being cut from ski movies that wound up featuring her male counterparts (only 14 percent of the athletes in last year’s ski movies were women), so she solicited several filmmakers for their unused film. Five years later she released Pretty Faces: The Story of a Skier Girl, which celebrates female professional skiers and aims to inspire younger generations. One of Pretty Faces’ producers is native Santa Fean Claire Smallwood, a professional skier who also works as a private chef in Salt Lake City and a ski guide in South America. In 2007, Smallwood and Dyer cofounded the nonprofit SheJumps, which works to increase female participation in outdoor activities. A portion of the proceeds from Pretty Faces, in which top women skiers talk about their fears and challenges, will benefit the organization. “SheJumps isn’t about turning out professional athletes so much as it’s about helping women do something they feel good about,” says Smallwood, who notes that as a young skier in New Mexico she had few female role models. “It felt kind of lonely, which was the core inspiration for starting SheJumps. The mountains are a great avenue for finding that community and helping girls feel proud of who they are.” Since premiering in Boulder, Colorado, on September 30, every showing of Pretty Faces has sold out. Smallwood, a fifth-generation New Mexican, says that her entire family will be supporting her at the Santa Fe premiere on November 15. “One of the big tenets of the film is: If she can do it, so can I,” Smallwood says. But, as a fellow producer told her, Pretty Faces isn’t just “a good film for girls. It’s a good film, period.” Pretty Faces: The Story of a Skier Girl, November 15, 8 pm, $10, Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trl, unicornpicnic.com November 13, 2014 NOW

Il Piatto Chef Matt Yohalem says the Fall Harvest Gnocchi dish pictured here exemplifies the variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables Il Piatto sources locally for its long list of regular menu items and daily specials. This colorful dish features roasted pumpkin from Gemini Farm in Las Trampas, tricolor cauliflower and baby carrots from Romero Farms, oyster mushrooms, and a brown butter sauce. The dish is topped with crispy pumpkin that’s thinly cut with a mandoline and then flash-fried in olive oil. Yohalem learned his craft from world-renowned chefs such as Michael Romano, Emeril Lagasse, and Sirio Maccioni, and he skillfully makes Il Piatto’s ravioli and gnocchi by hand. “For the gnocchi, we dry roast Dixon potatoes in rock salt to extract the liquid, then we put them through a meat grinder to puree the potatoes into a fine flour,” Yohalem says. He works in eggs and adds a bit of nutmeg and Parmesan cheese to achieve the perfect consistency for the dough. A rich brown butter sauce made from high-fat-content, European-style butter finishes the dish. “We serve the sauce just when it gets that hazelnut aroma while it’s bubbly hot and frothing,” he says. “We add pine nuts, sage, and a little bit of garlic and parsley. Delicious.” —Cristina Olds Il Piatto, 95 W Marcy, ilpiattosantafe.com

The sexy Frostbite Martini, available at the downtown lounge The Den, is simply gin or vodka stirred with liquid nitrogen and garnished with a twist of lemon rind. “The liquid nitrogen dissipates before you consume the cocktail,” says The Den’s owner and master mixologist, Quinn Stephenson. “It makes the coldest martini you can imagine—perfect for all the people getting off work at 5 pm.” The Den’s gourmet cocktail menu includes a number of other drinks with the instantly freezing nitrogen. “The alcohol won’t freeze, and there’s no taste,” Stephenson says. But it must be prepared correctly. Otherwise, he cautions, “you could have sorbet.”—Cristina Olds The Den, 132 W Water, thedensantafe.com

New Mexico master weavers Sandy Voss, Connie Enzmann-Forneris, and Barbara Marigold have studied, practiced, and refined their craft for more than 30 years. Now permanent artists at Marigold Arts on Canyon Road (which Barbara Marigold owns), the women are showcasing their tapestries, rugs, and wearable art in the gallery’s group show, Handwoven for the Holidays. “All three women consciously work on reviving and renewing weaving traditions and adding new elements,” says Cate Moses, Marigold Arts’ publicity director. In certain pieces on display, Voss weaves rag rugs using recycled silk neckties and Pendleton wool selvage; EnzmannForneris makes dyed-wool tapestries that depict animals in a style reminiscent of ancient petroglyphs; and Marigold creates “transparent” linen tapestries that feature intentional gaps so light can pass through the representations of landscapes near her home in Madrid.—Cristina Olds Handwoven for the Holidays, November 21–January 2, reception November 21, 5–7 pm, Marigold Arts, 424 Canyon, marigoldarts.com

Katsina Imagery on Pueblo Cultural Objects
PROFILE
IN ITS LATEST EXHIBITION, Adobe Gallery is opening its vaults to share a collection of 75 vintage katsinas made by Hopi and Zuni artists from the 1930s to the 1990s, as well as pottery, basketry, and sculptures that feature katsina imagery. Because katsinas are religious figures of Puebloan spirits, they’re traditionally left unsigned by the artist, eschewing the telltale mark of human handiwork, but in some cases the carvers are known. In addition to the dozens of katsinas on view, Katsina Imagery on Pueblo Cultural Objects features bronze sculptures of katsinas by Lowell Talashoma (1950–2003) and four unusual katsina puppets made in the ’50s and ’60s by Hopi carvers Henry Seeni and Jimmie Koots. “No one has seen [the puppets] since,” says gallery owner Alexander E. Anthony Jr. “Whether [that’s because] people didn’t receive the making of katsinas as toys well or no one else was interested in making puppets, we’ll never know.” A cross-legged katsina, inspired by a Hopi who was physically disabled and took up residence on the pueblo’s plaza, where he told stories to passersby, is another noteworthy piece in the show. The katsina’s “feet are crossed to represent that person,” Anthony says. “It has a nice story, and it’s a nice carving, too. There are some really outstanding examples here.”

PROFILE
In Nature’s Light features several “big sky” images that focus on the low horizon and expansive heavens of the Southwest—something Harris missed when he was living in Connecticut. (He relocated to Santa Fe a decade ago after previously living here in the late 1990s.) Harris has worked in several genres, including figurative painting and photography, but he promised himself when he returned to New Mexico that he’d focus on painting the area’s grand landscapes and light. Works such as Eventide, a standout in the show, depict dramatic purpleclouded skies at sunset, with the last rays casting an orange hue on a single tree. Harris’s images are romanticized and beautiful, yes, but the paint surface is equally important to the artist. “Beyond creating a visual scene people can get lost in or escape to,” he says, “I want to create interest in the paint itself.”

ARTISTS DON’T OFTEN INCLUDE window squeegees among their painting tools—especially not for use when smearing their work—yet that’s precisely what Gregory Frank Harris employs to masterful effect in his Southwest landscapes. By mapping out a composition, squeegeeing the canvas, and then blocking in a few details, Harris boldly blurs colors together, abstracting the image and creating a dreamlike scene. In his latest show, In Nature’s Light, which opens November 14 at Hunter Kirkland Contemporary, Harris deploys this method on a dozen works that evoke the images of fellow tonalist George Ennis (1884–1936). “I want [the paintings] to be otherworldly, even if they’re representational and regional,” Harris says. “I want them to evoke something beyond just rendering trees and grass. I want them to be beyond all that.” Foreground Chamisa, acrylic on linen, 40 x 44" November 13, 2014 NOW

PROFILE
Jane Filer paints out North Carolina–based painter Jane Filer was one of the more than 100 artists who took to the streets for some plein air action during the Canyon Road Paint Out & Sculpt Out on October 18. Santa Fean NOW captured her in the process of creating a new work for Bill Hester Fine Art, where she shows her work locally. “Abstract expressionism is an important movement in art history for me,” Filer says. “The abstract is suggestive of emotion. . . . The paintings are developed through multiple layers—what I call free-falling.” While layering acrylic paint on her canvas, Filer defines details with charcoal. “The paintings grow in a long, slow fashion,” she notes. “They’re a visual story that unravels bit by bit.”—Cristina Olds
Filer finished painting Mariposa in Thin Air (seen in its incomplete state in the far right photo) at Ghost Ranch the week after the Paint Out. 24

Deconstructing Coyote GF Contemporary, 707 Canyon gfcontemporary.com eileenbraziel.com November 21–December 19 Reception 5–7 pm GF Contemporary’s show Deconstructing Coyote features works in diverse mediums that explore the idea of the coyote as “trickster” in Native American lore. The artists—including Tony Abeyta, Bert Benally, Chris Collins, Bill Dambrova, Jaque Fragua, Marcus Kenney, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Beth Olsen, and Will Wilson—were chosen by guest curator Eileen Braziel for their individual perspectives on the Southwest. The coyote, Braziel says, has for decades been the “romantic” symbol “of the wild Southwest.” The art in this show, she adds, “becomes transformative as the artists deconstruct dogmatic or stereotypical meanings of coyote.”—Cristina Olds

Built as a schoolhouse in 1925, this renovated two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Arroyo Hondo residence is now enveloped by mature trees. The building’s original vigas were reset above the dining room and kitchen, and 160-year-old repurposed ash beams create a vaulted ceiling in what’s now the living room. Hardwood floors and custom doors and cabinetry are found throughout the interior. A large portico wraps around three sides of the house, and an outdoor kiva provides ambience and warmth during cool fall evenings. The 3.18-acre property, which also features an oversized two-car garage and a one-car carport with a heated utility room, is surrounded by a private neighborhood trail system and 86 acres of open space.

Steel with acid washes and Street Brewery in the antique bronze finishes that form earthSanta Fe Railyard. toned patinas. “Much like fine wood grains, steel has patterns. And it has more character than other metals,” he says. For the past 10 years, Rippel’s custom tables, gates, awnings, and railings have graced private homes and commercial buildings around New Mexico. Four years ago, with demand for his modern metalwork pieces soaring, he opened his own company, Rippel Metal Fabrication. Rippel’s love affair with metalwork is genetic. His father, John Rippel, is a Santa Fe silversmith who’s well known for his handmade jewelry. Growing up, Gabe learned to make rings under his father’s guidance. “My dad was a big inspiration,” he says. “What we do is similar; my work is just on a larger scale.” Gabe found further inspiration while observing a metal fabricator doing work on a construction site, which led him to apprentice with sculptor Lex Lucius, who’s known for his large installation pieces. Rippel honed his creative process by collaborating with artists and with residential and commercial builders across the region, from Santa Fe to Marfa, Texas. Whatever he designs, his goal is to harmonize the straight angles of a conspicuously modern aesthetic with nonlinear Southwestern elements. That said, there are certain kinds of pieces Rippel prefers working on. “I enjoy furniture,” he says, “because it demands a quality standard that people expect with something they’re face-to-face with every day.”

Ziggy Marley
David Nesta Marley, better known as Ziggy, recently came to Santa Fe to carry on the reggae tradition of his legendary father, Bob Marley. On October 29, the 46-year-old musician, entrepreneur, and activist bounced and jammed across the Santa Fe Community Convention Center stage to the delight of the multigenerational audience. Touring in support of his fifth solo studio album, Fly Rasta, which features his sisters Cedella and Sharon Marley on background vocals, Marley’s bestreceived tunes of the night were the ones made famous by his dad. “If you closed your eyes and cocked your head just right,” said Rob, a concertgoer from Albuquerque, “it was almost like being at a Bob Marley show—backup singers and dancers and everything.” At eight years old, Marley, along with four of his younger siblings, formed the band the Melody Makers at his father’s suggestion. Marley has since gone on to win several Grammy Awards for his group and solo albums, and he’s also founded his own line of organic hemp seeds and coconut oil, written a children’s book, and collaborated on a comic book.—Cristina Olds November 13, 2014 NOW
