DESCRIPTION

he first time I watched Boyhood, I was amazed by Patricia Arquette’s performance and the way her character evolved over 12 years of the film, but it was also Austin native Zoe Graham who played the film’s star, Ellar Coltrane’s high school girlfriend, that captivated me. Then, when we read more about her—her smart, feminist voice, that she was in the all-girl rock band Schmillion as a high schooler in Austin and is now pursuing a degree in fibers at the Maryland Institute College of Art. We were thrilled that Graham accepted our invitation for a photo shoot with legendary photographer Dan Winters. Winters, along with stylist Lauren Smith Ford and floral designer Antonio Bond of Transplants Floral, collaborated on this month’s cover and the 20-page spread inside the magazine aptly entitled “Zoe Blooms” on page 50. She just wrapped up filming The Secret In Their Eyes where she plays Julia Roberts' daughter, and we think this bright young beauty is just getting started and has much more.

    The first time I watched Boyhood, I

    was amazed by Patricia Arquettes

    performance and the way her

    character evolved over 12 years

    of the film, but it was also Austin

    native Zoe Graham who played the

    films star, Ellar Coltranes high school girlfriend, that

    captivated me. Then, when we read more about herher

    smart, feminist voice, that she was in the all-girl rock

    band Schmillion as a high schooler in Austin and is now

    pursuing a degree in fibers at the Maryland Institute

    College of Art. We were thrilled that Graham accepted our invitation for a photo shoot with legendary photographer

    Dan Winters. Winters, along with stylist Lauren Smith Ford and floral designer Antonio Bond of Transplants Floral,

    collaborated on this months cover and the 20-page spread inside the magazine aptly entitled Zoe Blooms on page

    50. She just wrapped up filming The Secret In Their Eyes where she plays Julia Roberts' daughter, and we think this

    bright young beauty is just getting started and has much more than just Hollywood box office success in her future.

    That is just one of a few exciting photo shoots in this issueartist Alyson Fox picked up her (film) camera and headed

    to Elgin, Texas to shoot some of our favorite Spring looks in the downtown loft apartment and studio of artist Margo

    Sawyer on page 80. Photographer Jessica Pages and TRIBEZA art director Ashley Horsley found the best and latest

    in stylish athletic gear and enlisted the stunning mother-daughter duo, Lisa and Zayne Matulis (who will be playing

    soccer at Harvard this fall) to rock them throughout the Westlake Chaparral Stadium.

    We also share a lot of other ideas for where to shop and dine (look for even more news on that front in next months

    Food Issue). All this style talk has us excited for TRIBEZA Style Week No. 12 that will be happening this September.

    Dates are coming soon. We hope this years Spring Style Issue leaves you feeling excited for stocking your wardrobe

    for the new seasons with all the great pieces you can find shopping local in Austin!

    Left: zayne matulis shows off the latest in spring athletic wear at westlake chapparal stadium. Right: outtake from our shoot with beloved TRIBEZA columnist, Kristin Armstrong, and her twin daughters, grace (left) and isabelle (right).

    tHe CloCk is tiCkinG and soon my twin 13-year-old daughters will be metal free. No more unsightly food trapped in silver brackets. No more

    cats-in-the-cradle colored rubber band configurations spring-loading their

    jaws. No more moody Mona Lisa smiles with sealed lips.

    The orthodontist explained to the girls that if they wear their rub-

    ber bands without fail until the next appointment, they could get their

    braces off. Their hearts soared, while my heart sank. I quickly inter-

    vened, Oh girls, those rubber bands are such a pain. They make your

    teeth hurt and give you a headache. And you cant chew gum or eat

    candy the way you love to do. Theres no need to wear those silly things.

    The orthodontist looked at me like I had been taking nips off his

    laughing gas.

    You see, uh, Im not quite ready for my girls to be done with braces. Isnt

    there something you can do, some kind of treatment plan that lasts until,

    say, after college? I asked. My daughters did a double-twin-power-acti-

    vate-eye-roll and groaned at me through their rubber-banded grimaces,

    Mo-ooooom. Ugh. Ive discovered the word mom has two syllables and

    a very low octave when you annoy or embarrass your adolescent children.

    I have reason to be concerned. They already have too-cute figures.

    God given, not strived for, so they look created, not carved. They steal

    my jeans and my Lululemon and look better in all my clothes than I

    do. They have sun-kissed highlighted manes of thick hair that fall in

    a perfectly flat-ironed lush curtain down their backs. Their eyes, now

    accented with a faint brush of mascara, convey both innocence and

    sophistication: Im old enough to get it but too young to care. Wink.

    Their skin is lineless and immaculate, plump-cheeked and youthful and

    p.s. youre welcome for all my summers of being the Sunscreen Nazi.

    Growing Up

    They paint their nails pale pink or a sassy ocean blue. Their fashion

    sense is comfortable and effortlessly cute. They can wear white Con-

    verse shoes with anything, anywhere, and suddenly everyone else looks

    overdressed. They are unaware of their beauty, which frees them of its

    baggage. Being twins, but not identical, gives them enough space to be

    themselves, yet enough closeness that they are a force to be reckoned

    with. They hover in the gap between girl and gal, and I feel the tension

    as both camps vie for their membership.

    The last vestige of childhood I have is the metal.

    So I want the braces to stay on, damnit.

    I dont want them to be cuter or more kissable. I dont want them to

    look older. I dont want them to grow up, not just yet. Lets just slow

    this freight train down, I say, as I try to tie myself to the metal tracks.

    I am not ready for the white expanse of their real grownup smiles.

    The ones that will smile proudly at me when they get their drivers li-

    censes or graduate from high school. The brave smiles when I hug them

    goodbye at college. The dreamy smiles that will let me know they have

    fallen truly, irrevocably in love. The smiles that burst with excitement

    over job offers, promotions, proposals, weddings and pregnancy tests.

    The motherly smiles that will one day smile down at my grandchildren.

    To this very metaphorical, hormonal, nostalgic mother, the removal

    of this metal represents stepping out of the protective armor of child-

    hood. Meanwhile, I want to add some more alligators to the moat and

    pull up the drawbridge.

    But the wiser part of me knows that the loveliest things on earth can-

    not be covered or contained, things like love, sunsets, stars, and oceans.

    And my daughters growing up and smiling at the world.

  • Peter MullanwA LLer cr eeK con serVA nc y s n e w ceo pr epA r es to ch A ng e Aus ti n For e V er .

    photog r A phy by A n dr e w ch A n

    peter Mullan never considered moving to Texas an ambition. A native New Yorker, Mullan spent a decade working for Friends of the High Line, an expansive urban parks project that runs along the west side of Manhattan, and a big inspiration for the Waller

    Creek vision. But when the Austin-based Waller Creek Conservancy

    launched a nationwide campaign in 2014 to find a CEO, Mullan de-

    cided to pursue the opportunity. Considering his impressive resume

    and his experience with public works, Mullan was a natural fit for the

    organization. With Mullan now in place, the WCC is about to kick

    the massive Waller Creek revitalization project into high gear. Over

    the next few years, Austinites can look forward to improved infra-

    structure, new attractions and more events like Novembers enchant-

    ing Creek Show light installation. Mullan says he hopes Waller Creek

    brings the same sense of community and revitalization to downtown

    Austin as the High Line did for Manhattans Chelsea neighborhood.

    And though Mullan has only called Austin home for a few weeks, hes

    already fallen in love with the people, the culture and the city itself.

    With all eyes on Waller Creek, we chatted with the new CEO to find

    out a little bit more about this newly-minted Texan. k. Friel

    community P r o f i l e

    5 Q u e s t i o n s F o r p e t e r

    So what was it about the Waller Creek project that com-pelled you to pick up and move to Austin?it's very rare that you get the opportunity to par-ticipate in projects that have major transformative [effect] on a city. i had that with the high Line, and thought that was a once in lifetime opportunity. waller creek has the same potential for change.The High Line was a massively successful public works project that changed the landscape of New York City. What lessons did you learn during your decade with

    e x P o s e D

    Friends of the High Line that you will bring to Waller Creek Conservancy? there are many lessons. one, is it's important to recognize that these projects have to be commu-nity-based efforts [and] engage lots of different kinds of people. that is their powerit makes the project more successful because people have own-ership of it. these projects are not for the next five years, they're for the next 50 yearsyou always to have to remember that.Why do you think Austinites have taken such an interest in the Waller Creek project? ive been amazed at the people in Austin that i've encountered. people are so welcoming, and willing to engage and generous of spirit; i can't say enough

    about the people i've met. the culture of going out to restaurants and clubs to hear music and being out-doors; there is an inherent publicness to the culture of Austin. people are physically engaging with the city in all of these different ways.Youve only been on the job for a few weeks, but what kind of pressure are you feeling?you wanna show results, [like] getting a piece of waller creek open to the public as soon as possible. there are lot of things we're doing, and that we can do, like the annual [waller creek] picnic on April 18. [ultimately,] you have to have courage, you have to recognize that it's gonna be hard, hard work, because these projects are hard to get gone. you have to be in for the long haul.

    OPyFor the first time, the Metropolitan Gallery will play host to an inaugural show that features the work of the Artist Group, a collective of artists housed in the Canopy complex. The complex that was once a Goodwill

    sorting center was reimagined by Michael Hsu Architects and has become a bus-

    tling epicenter for the creative community. Home to galleries like Big Medium,

    Modern Rocks and Little Pink Moster, Canopy is also the office/studio to pho-

    tographers, filmmakers, ceramicists and architects. The Spring Art Show will

    showcase work in varying mediums and disciplines by over 30 artists. One of the

    featured artists, Peggy Weiss, is excited about the new collective and says, "The

    Artist Group at Canopy, will host informational meetings where artists can share

    new ideas, potential projects, new material uses, opportunities, and collaboration

    ideas. Check out the group exhibit at Canopy at 916 Springdale Road on April 18

    and 19 from noon to 6pm. triBeza staFF

    A sk womens wear designer Jean Jones her fashion philosophy, and its pretty sim-ple: Life is too short to wear clothes that dont feel right. Its this golden rule that drives her own work as a handweaver meets couturiere with her own luxury line. Known by her fiercely feminine and timeless designs, Jones turns to laces, tweeds, and her own unique handwovens to bring her collections to life. I prefer to use the best fabrics that I can find, and design and construct clothes in the best way possible, the designer says. How you feel every day matters. Wear the best clothes you can. Jones goes the distance to ensure that anyone wearing her designs will be doing just that. In fact, many of the fabrics used in her lines are sourced from England, France, and Italyromantic destina-tions where Jones lived for several years before ultimately planting roots in Austin. With nearly 300 sunny days a year, its no surprise Jones credits Austins light as the inspiration behind her recently released S/S 2015 line, The Light Collection. Stirred by the optimism bright days often bring, Jones designed a line that features rose-printed dresses, billowing blouses, and a stylish wrap dress any local will vie for that Jones has nicknamed The Austinite. Shes currently working on several pop-up and trunk shows to look forward to in the coming months, but for now you can browse any of her lines at jeanjones.com. t. mendoza

    All DolleD UpBikers. rockabilly revelers. Pin-up girls. These are all folks you might encounter at the Lonestar rod & Kustom round Up classic car show. intrigued by the colorful characters drawn to the hot rod lifestyle, Texas photographer george Brainard spent five years capturing their styles and stories in striking black and white portraits. Taking that color element out of it, i think its easier to notice details about people, Brainard says. i think these pictures are really simple in a lot of ways, so whats complex about them is the people and their style. Compiling the photos into a book, Brainard released All Tore Up: Texas Hot Rod Portraits last month, cataloguing guys in rolled up jeans and vintage shirts, women in flirty retro dresses, and tattooed men in tank tops. you can check out the crowd yourself at this years round Up on April 17 and 18 at the Travis County expo Center. The show is about the cars, but its much bigger than that, Brainard says, its a whole

    OLiVe'S neW DigsWhen Laura Uhlir launched her clothing and accessories shop, Olive,

    inside Domy Books in 2012, she thought it might be a part-time project.

    I was doing it because I was passionate about it and believed in it, but I

    never really thought it would go this far, Uhlir says. In February, after

    spending the last two years in a cozy space on Rosewood Avenue, Olive has

    expanded into a brighter, roomier space on East 11th Street. While Olives

    new boutique carries some vintage items and an expanded shoe selection,

    the focus is on emerging and independent designers, including jeans from

    Objects Without Meaning. Before starting Olive, the native Texan thought

    shed go into education. I come from a long line of teachers, Uhlir ex-

    plains, but I just wound up with a store instead. For more information,

    PolisH & l ACQuer Two new nail salons want to make sure your fingers and toes always

    look great. For those on the go, Lacquer (which opened in March)

    offers classic and deluxe mani-pedis in its downtown location. My

    vision is to create a place where you can get pampered in less than

    an hour and walk out and feel great about yourself, says owner

    Carla Hatler. Part of this pampering includes the Essie gel system,

    featuring colors from Rebecca Minkoff. A little further north, sis-

    ters Molly Donovan and Elisabeth Tynberg are bringing high-end

    nail care to Central Austin. At Polish (which opened in January),

    you can indulge in a Polish Pedicure, which includes a foot soak,

    nail trimming and shaping, an exfoliating scrub and a hydrating

    foot massage. While pinks are always in for spring, Donovan says

    the popular colors now are neutrals, nudes and the coffee colors;

    really the classic natural looking nails. For more information, visit

    ilovelacquer.com and polishatx.com.

    OFF TO ThE RACESBefore a motorcycle racer hits the track, theyve got to be properly suited up. World Champion motogP racer kevin schwantz shares a few surprising facts about what the racers put on before they take off.

    -Almost all the riders wear some type of protection for their spine underneath their leather racing suit. it s a soft padding with some hard plastic. A good description for what most of them look like is kind of like an armadillos back. it can bend over and then come back, but doesnt overlap when it goes.

    -Most of the riders wear a thin nylon suit that helps make getting the leathers on and off easier. it s just kind of a big, tight set of pajamas, more or less.

    -Whatever helmet company riders use most have things that youll see them tearing off during the race. Theyre called tear-offs, and theyre thin pieces of plastic that cover the shield, in case you get a bug or something on the shield, you have the ability to clean it while the race is going on. Get an up close look at the racers during the MotoGP event April 10 12 at the Circuit of The Americas. For more information, visit circuitoftheamericas.com/motogp

    The art of balance is something that Zoe Graham has been

    working on (read: perfecting) for a while now. Its been five

    years since her first acting gig on a Spike Jonze short with Ar-

    cade Fire, titled Scenes From the Suburbs, and one year since

    the mind-blowing premiere of Boyhood, a film 12 years in the

    making. And while acting seems to be in the cards for Graham,

    its not necessarily what defines her; shes equal parts artist, femi-

    nist, actress, and Austinite, and above all, unapologetically herself.

    I dont believe in choosing one thing, Graham says. I love

    acting, but I still do art everyday. Most people do, even if they

    dont realize it: making art decisions in the everyday. It doesnt

    have to be a choice. Theres no doubt that, as of late, Grahams

    role in Boyhood has taken center stage. For the past three years,

    shes joined the cast and crew for a single week of filming, then

    waited anxiously until the next years script was released, hoping

    that her character would again make the cut.

    Checking in once a year with everyone was really sweet, she

    says. It was extremely specialnothing will ever be like that

    for me or for anyone again. Couple this unique, one-of-a-kind

    experience with the fact that Boyhood was filmed in Grahams

    hometown of Austin, where she was born and raised, and youve

    got one hell of a ride. I think I got spoiled by that, not that I

    dont enjoy shooting in other places, but coming backit was an

    entirely different experience, and it reminded me of how much

    I love working in Austin, Graham says. Theres a completely

    different vibe here than anywhere else. I love working in Austin

    and would love to do it again.

    Graham owes a lot to her hometownits where her career

    first took flight, after an out-of-the-blue casting in Scenes From

    the Suburbs (she was in a local band called Schmillion and

    went to a gathering at the drummers house one day that

    turned out to be an audition). Now, with Boyhood, Austin

    represents the birth of a new chapter in a career with im-

    mense potential. And in the midst of each overly scheduled

    day, flying back and forth between LA (for filming The Secret

    in Their Eyes where she plays Julia Roberts daughter) and

    Baltimore (for her sophomore year at the Maryland Institute

    College of Art), Graham makes art. And studies for her mid-

    terms, of course.

    Ive been flying to and from LA all semester, Graham

    says. But Ive found ways to work on my art thereits

    been interesting to change all my art to fit it in a carry-on

    bag. Adapting projects to make small things is a fun chal-

    lenge. I think theres always opportunities for creativity in

    your life. Working in show business as a self-described

    feminist actress can be an interesting challenge, Graham

    says. And then theres being recognized at school, on your

    way to class, in the cafeteria, and all over campus for a role

    in a movie that took Hollywood by storm.

    I spent my first year of college in relative anonymity, and

    now some people know who I am, she says. Ive had people

    approach me and then be disappointed that Im not who they

    expect. But in some instances its really interesting, and they

    want to talk to me about film and feminism. Its cool that I can

    connect to strangers like that just through a performance.

    Graham can date her love of art back to childhood, where

    she knew from a very early age that she wanted to be creating

    in some form throughout her life. Her love of acting came

    much later, however, with her aforementioned surprise role

    in Scenes From the Suburbs. It was then, at the age of 15, that

    Graham made the connection between art and acting, and

    started to envision their combined potential.

    I really enjoyed my first project, she says. I felt really

    at home on set. It showed me that acting could be more

    than what Hollywood makes it out be, that it can be more

    of an art. I ll always be happy that that happened.

    Admittedly, Graham has no idea whats next, but for a wise

    beyond her years 20-year-old college sophomore, shes focused

    on pursuing all of her passions, and with equal zeal, to be sure. If

    acting ever becomes a huge problem, I have this whole life to fall

    back on, she says. I have my art and my acting and if one gets too

    stressful, I always have the other. I feel like I can be happy doing

    anything if I have a little time to do what I love.

    Five Austinites who inspire with a style all their own.

    c h l o e h o o k s /S t. S t e p h e n S e p i S co pa l S c h o o l S e n i o r Yes, shes beautiful, but the glamorous granddaughter of Mel-

    ba Whatley is much more than that. Currently deciding between

    colleges, the alum of the School of Ethics and Global Leadership

    in DC plans to double major in Theater and Public Policy. She is

    particularly interested in the pursuit of social impact theater and

    using the stage as a medium for change.

    How do you describe your style? I strive for a classic style with a contemporary twist and love to mix

    the old and new in unexpected ways.

    What are your three spring essentials? Mixed prints, blush, and crop tops that still leave a little to the

    imagination.

    What do you love about Austin style? Austin style is modernity: chic, real, and hip. Unique takes on

    trends are as diverse as the city itself and never fail to inspire.

  • 76 april 2015 tribeza.com

    dA r r e n g r i F F i n /f r e e l a n c e w r i t e rDarren Griffins work as a writer may have led him everywhere

    from Japan to Israel, but it was penning a piece for his favorite

    basketball publication from childhood, Slam, thats been the

    biggest career highlight so far. Since Darren can work from

    anywhere, his approach to style is solely based on his mood.

    He says: That means one day it could be a Club Monaco shirt,

    Acne Jeans and Common Projects sneakers, and on another

    day an A.P.C. T-shirt, Public School denim and Air Jordan 1s

    are more suitable.

    How do you describe your style? Id say its birthed in classic menswear principles coupled with

    a strong street sensibility. The infusion of a good trend here

    and there, but only if it smartly accents those aforementioned

    qualities. I view style from a very uniformed lens. So I wear

    different variations of the same thing a lot.

    What are your three spring essentials?My insanely obsessive sneaker collection, favorite pairs of

    denim, and a couple tees in different fits/proportions. I can

    build from there.

    What do you love about Austin style?Its freedom to be both good and bad. To be completely sub-

    jective with little to no subterfuge. So many places base good

    style on brand names, dollars spent, and breaking new trends.

    All of which is cool. Austin doesnt do that, though. For lack of

    a more articulate explanationAustin just does what it does.

    And I love it.

    dA n i e l l e n i e c i A g /D i r ec to r o f i n S t i t u t i o n a l a Dva n c e m e n t, t h e co n t e m p o r a ry a u S t i nBefore coming to Austin, Danielle worked alongside celebrat-

    ed curator Carmen Gimenez in Madrid at the Guggenheim.

    Of that time, she says: Shes a true inspiration and heavily

    impacted my visual aesthetic, and the way I see the world.

    When it comes to dressing for her Congress Avenue office digs,

    it all starts with the shoes. After the shoes are established, you

    can often find her clad in leather, cashmere or suede.

    How do you describe your style? Very classic with an edge...sort of Annie Hall and the Hep-

    burns, Audrey and Katharine, but with some Tilda Swinton

    in the mix.

    What are your three spring essentials? Acne dresses, white anything, especially jeans, and a good

    raincoat (I just bought one from Uniqlo mens department).

    What do you love about Austin style? Great access to vintage. I recently bought an amazing old

    Levis jacket on South Congress that I love.

    c h r i s h e n d e l /vice preSiDent + General manaGer, neiman marcuSAt just age 32, Chris is one of the youngest General Managers

    in all of Neiman Marcus and so far, he has worked at stores

    in Chicago, Palm Beach and San Diego. You can usually find

    him in a Isaia or Armani suit at work, and he loves discovering

    what shoppers in each city love. Its a big challenge, but also

    fun to learn each city and what each customer is looking for,

    he says. It always varies greatly based on lifestyle, climate,

    and community.

    How do you describe your style? Style to me is more than just what one chooses to wear. Its

    about how one carries himself, and its in the details. When it

    comes to clothes, I would say I spend most of my days in a suit.

    I love pieces that have sentimental valuean old pair of my

    fathers Dunhill cufflinks, a watch from 1940s that belonged

    to my grandfather. When I am not at work, I love the comfort

    of a great broken-in pair of jeans and a T-shirt. I own over 100

    tees. I cant seem to part with any of them. My favorite is a

    Rolling Stones T-shirt from my very first concert. Im always

    excited to see the seasons new trends, but I wouldnt say that

    I follow them. As Yves Saint Laurent once said: Trends fade,

    but style is eternal.

    Whats your approach to dressing for work? Im a huge fan of mixing patterns, plaids, polka dots, stripes.

    I love to throw in a dash of color, like pink socks or a violet

    pocket square.

    What are your three spring essentials? SunblockI spend a good amount of time on Lake Austin and

    outdoors, so sunblock is a must (Im partial to Kiehls), Per-

    sol tortoise shell sunglasses (Ive replaced the lenses several

    times, but Ive had the same pair for over 10 years), and good

    manners, because they never go out of style.

    What do you love about Austin style? It is diverse, eclectic and ever-changing. Boho chic was a huge

    call out on the runways for Spring 2015, and I think of all the

    trends this one really resonates with the Austin client.

    j e s s i e j o h n s o n /m a r k e t i n G + e v e n t D i r ec to r at wat e r lo o r eco r D S a n D a r t i S t Seventh generation Texan Jessie Johnson grew up in Dripping

    Springs and likes to joke that her years living in NYC were

    like Elly May Clampett goes to the Big Apple. But we think

    the former fashion industry alum and effortlessly cool visual

    artist stands out from the crowd anywhere she goes. A mother

    of two, and the wife of musician Will Johnson, is at home

    in her role at Waterloo Records where she has helped play

    host to acts like Iggy and the Stooges, Emmylou Harris and

    Jimmy Cliff. Check out her artwork at jessiejohnsonart.

    wordpress.com.

    What are your spring style essentials? During SX, it was a cellphone and a pillow. I did just get some

    Doc Martens at a vintage shop. I know its a trend that will

    pass like all the others, but Ive always wanted some, and as a

    kid, we couldnt afford things like that.

    What do you love about Austin style? Everyone has the ability to find their true self. We have high

    end, awesome thrift and resale, as well as extremely well-cu-

    rated vintage. Austinites have endless resources for any bud-

    get. Plus, the surrounding small towns are thrift/vintage gold

    mines. Growing up in Dripping Springs, we had one tiny thrift

    store, and it was this dark, dank building with everything in

    piles. Now we live in a world where you can get anything you

    want online! I still love the hunt. My ideal day off is going

    hunting at Prototype, Feathers Boutique, and Savers.

    The essence of Margo Sawyers home does not live in her (quite enviable) col-

    lection of things. Its in the space between that allows room for new thoughts,

    ideas, and creative compulsions to take flight. Her loft in downtown Elgin

    is open and expansive, with each carefully-curated piece of furniture in its

    place. But, Sawyers version of home life is about embracing an emptiness of

    sorts; the quietness that comes with minimal decor encourages that unde-

    finable creative spirit within her to expand. If a space is too visually busy, its

    distracting, she says. Emptiness is my inspiration. Im always interested in

    bridging the gap between high art and function, in uniting the two.

    As an artist, Sawyer sees her life in the same way that she sees her work, as

    a place to express herself and fulfill her creative compulsions. Shes spent a

    lifetime doing just that: Sawyer grew up in Sussex, England before attending

    the Chelsea School of Art in London. She came to the States to earn her MFA

    in sculpture at Yale. Now, the artist has a laundry list of group and solo shows

    under her belt, and has been teaching sculpture in the Fine Arts department

    at the University of Texas since 1988.

    After living in Austin for a while, Sawyer decided she wanted to live in

    a small town. She considered living in Taylor, before deciding on Elgin.

    Though she rented at first, it wasnt long before Sawyer had her eye on buy-

    ing a building. Her friends were against it, but armed with a business plan

    outlining how having an artist in Elgin would benefit the town, she headed to

    the bank to get the loan she needed to buy the building. The bank agreed and

    so began a three-year renovation process. I had to fight to get the loan for the

    place. Tenacity is my middle name, she says. Im not the main road girl. Im

    the side road, the back alley, the circuitous route. Its the journey, not the arrival,

    that matters.

    Twelve years later, Sawyer couldnt be more at home in her three-story

    studio/loft (with a rooftop garden and all). I love the town. Its very quaint,

    and there is an interesting group of people here, she says. Its been the per-

    fect place to work on her art. Sawyers most recent project, Synchronicity of

    Color, lives in the Discovery Green park in downtown Houston, where it is

    seen and photographed by hundreds of people each day. Its one of Sawyers

    largest and most loved public installations to date. There are two things I

    think of with Discovery Green. Im amazed at how much of a magnet it is,

    and how it inspires other people, and secondly, it always makes me wonder,

    how in the hell did I pull that off?

    Synchronicity of Color is just the tip of the iceberg. Sawyers art has been

    exhibited all over the world, including New York, Japan, and India. Shes

    currently represented by the Holly Johnson Gallery in Dallas, and has an-

    other large-scale public installation piece titled Index for Contemplation on

    display at the Austin Convention Center. The best compliment people can

    give me is spending a lot of time looking, she says. Not so much talking, but

    lookingslowing down, and taking time with [the art]. The great reward is

    At Home in ElginHow Margo Sawyer, a celebrated artist who has lived all over the world, transformed a historic building in Elgin into an inspiring, minimalist-meets-modern abode.

    lomat father and an English mother, Sawyers been around the world and

    back again, calling Africa, England, India, New York City, Rome, and Texas

    home at different times throughout her life.

    A friend of mine has this saying: If you want to travel, you should let

    your work do it for you, she says. Ive been fortunate enough to do just

    that. Though her early work was much more serene, and largely without

    viewers engagement, Sawyer focuses now on engaging the space, experi-

    menting with color and facing her artistic fears head on. At Yale, I chose

    color because I wanted to work with the thing I was most frightened by. I

    wanted my sculpture to be as immediate as a drawing, and to provoke fas-

    cination, Sawyer says. Now, I try to embrace the interaction people have

    with my art. Public art is for the people. Its meant to nurture and nourish

    everyone. Though Sawyer now calls the small town of Elgin home, which

    is small and predictable, the loft in which the artist resides, and the world

    she has created within it, are anything but.

    Kari Perkins spent months

    working on Matthew Mc-

    Conaugheys shirt for MUD.

    Director Jeff Nichols had

    a specific idea for what he

    wanted the work shirt that McConaughey

    would wear throughout the entire film to

    look like. Perkins and her team dyed and

    re-dyed and cut and re-cut the well-tai-

    lored work shirt over the months leading

    up to filming. As the start date came near,

    McConaughey came to the set in rural Ar-

    kansas. To get into character, he spent a

    week camping out on the island where

    they would be shooting, in his costume.

    At the end of that week, he called.

    Kari, I dont think this is my lucky

    shirt, he said. Perkins remembers that

    moment well since filming was set to

    start the next week. He said, my char-

    acter is the type of guy who thinks hes

    a winner; hes the guy at the casino in

    Lake Charles that never wins but keeps

    playing all night. I need something that

    doesnt fit well, like a Hawaiian shirt.

    Perkins, who has the magical ability

    to maintain a sense of calm, often in the

    midst of the chaotic, fast-paced and ev-

    er-changing movie business, knew she

    couldnt find what she needed in rural

    Arkansas, so she got on the phone and

    started making calls, ordering rayon

    blank shirts to play with. She fast and

    furiously worked on aging the shirt

    (costume designer speak for making

    new clothes look worn) with different

    dyes, and she changed out all the but-

    tons. Just as filming was about to start,

    McConaughey donned his new costume

    and as producers and crew sat on pins

    and needles, the actor and director

    agreed, they liked it. Being resource-

    ful and thinking on her feet has been an

    essential part of Perkins work since the

    beginning.

    Perkins first job in film was on a Dis-

    ney film in 1987 called Save the Dog.

    Up to that point, she had worked

    mostly in the theater, but got called

    onto the movie set when the costume

    designer needed mime outfits created

    for the next day. She worked all night

    making the costumes and delivered

    them to the set. After that, she was

    hooked on the movie world. I fell in

    love with the industry. It was all new

    and exciting to me and working on

    set was my film school, she says.

    Perkins worked in all different areas

    of the costume department, and her

    big break came in 1991 when she got

    the opportunity to work on Richard

    Linklaters Dazed & Confused.

    Perkins and Linklater met when

    an old friend of hers was an actor in

    Slacker. He had to do some reshoots

    and had shaved off his mustache and

    beard that he originally had during

    filming, so the always crafty Perkins,

    At home and in the studio with Kari Perkins, the award-winning costume designer for many of Richard Linklaters films.

  • 112 april 2015 tribeza.com

    made faux facial hair for him. It was

    so well done that the director didnt

    know it was fake. Linklater called her

    to compliment her work, and they got

    to talking about ideas and upcoming

    projects. Since Dazed & Confused,

    Perkins has worked on all of Linkla-

    ters films. Working with him feels

    like working with family. When I get

    a call to do a film with him, I know

    what to expect, I know what he likes,

    and I have a lot more freedom to ex-

    plore things creatively, she says from

    her warm and inviting South Austin

    home set on acreage that she shares

    with her husband and three daughters.

    Throughout their over twenty years

    of collaborating, Perkins recalls many

    fun memories, but one of her favorite

    moments came during Jack Blacks

    fitting for Bernie. He was wearing

    his pants low in a classic Jack Black

    way. I had all these great pieces, but

    it didnt feel right, she remembers. I

    asked him to pull his pants up real-

    ly high, to his belly buttonand that

    was it. His stance changed, and he

    morphed into this amazing character

    in front of my eyes. Everything he put

    on became Bernie. It was magic, and

    I love it when that happens.

    Although the life of a costume de-

    signer may seem glamorous (and yes,

    she did get to attend this years Oscars

    with her Boyhood team), Perkins and

    her costume department work gruel-

    ing 16-hour days during the filming

    of a movie and spend the months

    before putting together inspiration

    boards, fitting the actors, and con-

    structing special props. The costume

    team starts their days during filming

    30 minutes before the actors arrive

    for makeup, and they are usually

    some of the last of the crew to leave

    at the end of the day. As a mom of

    three, Perkins and her husband, prop

    maker Jeff Plowman, have made it

    work by switching up their work

    loads. Right now, Perkins is at home

    working on a ballet, and Plowman is

    working on an ABC pilot. Austin is so

    family friendly. Rick [Linklater] has

    been very supportive of my family. I

    gave birth twice during the filming of

    Boyhood and was eight months preg-

    nant when he hired me for Fast Food

    Nation, she says.

    Looking back, her career choice

    all makes sense for the little girl who

    sewed herself the seersucker halter

    top of her dreams at age 12. Each

    film is an entirely different experience

    with its own set of parameters. No two

    are alike, she says. I enjoy problem

    solving and the unique challenge each

    film presents. Design is a way for me

    to create new worlds.

    tion boards for an upcom-
