ARTICLE KELLI RUHL | PHOTOGRAPHY BRIT TUCKER

24 Hours with Boriya & Co. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MACRAME ARTIST AMIE PHILLIIPS

THE STORY OF BORIYA AND CO. IS AS LAYERED AND INTRICATE AS THE MACRAME PIECES ITS FOUNDER, AMIE PHILLIPS, CREATES. Phillips, who has long been a versatile artist, began Boriya after spending three years living between India and Colorado, as she ran a non-profit income generation project for Rajasthani women in the South Asian country.

Born of the convergence of Phillips desire to earn an income while staying home with her then six-month-old, and her wish to continue her work with her community in India, Boriya was for its first year a platform for the artwork of India’s Jogibasti community. Eventually, it became clear that it was easier for the Jogibasti women to sell their wares directly to tourists, and so Boriya evolved into a channel for Phillips’ own creations. Phillips was drawn into the world of macrame after seeing beautiful pieces showcased on social media, and she utilized her background as a river guide—and the extensive knowledge of knots it had imbued her with—she began to make pieces of her own. Three years in, Phillips now spends her days juggling life as a wife, mother and small business owner. As if her various wholesale accounts and the slew of custom and commercial projects on her plate don’t keep her hands busy enough, the artisan also teaches macrame workshops multiple times a month. In the years to come, Phillips hopes to find herself living in the mountains with her family, with a full-fledged studio, a few co-workers, and, hopefully, the opportunity to once again work with her community in India. In the meantime, her days are full to the brim, as she good-humoredly explains: “the phrase ‘a woman’s work is never done’ ran through my head before I became an entrepreneur, but now it’s reached a whole new level!”

ARTIST’S PALETTE

(CON TI N U ED)

7:00 AM

Wake up to the song “Staring at the Sun” by TV on the Radio and hit snooze.

7:10 AM

Time to really get up. Pull back blackout curtains to let the sun in, do some asanas and read the daily liturgy in Book of Common Prayer while the tea kettle heats.

7:20 AM

Open the front door to get a few breaths of cold fresh air and greet the day. Back to my closet to pull on my “work uniform”: a pair of Madewell overalls I wear more often than not and a goldenrod t-shirt.

7:30 AM

Putz into the kitchen to make my usu-mate’ latte with grass-fed butter and a green smoothie (flax milk, handful of greens, half an avocado, spoonful of almond butter, half a banana and collagen) and start eggs and toast for Imogen and Michael.

8:00 AM

Wake Imogen (my spunky and sweet 3.5-year-old) up, snuggle her then talk her into putting on daytime clothes.

8:20 AM

Pack Imogen’s lunch while she eats in the sunny breakfast nook and finish getting her ready for school.

8:45 AM

Take Imogen to preschool—it’s called Parents Day Out, and I sure take them up on that.

9:00 AM

Scan Classpass to pick a yoga/barre class. Decide on Samadhi Vinyasa 9:30-10:30 sesh.

10:45 AM

Drop off wholesale plant-hanger order at Green Lady Gardens (great new houseplant shop on Santa Fe).

11:30 AM

Back at my home studio. Look over planner and flowchart to prioritize what I need to accomplish today.

11:45 AM

Check some emails while snacking on celery and almond butter. Get an email from California requesting a custom plant hanger to accommodate a large, sprawling plant.

Yes, I can do that! Get measurements and send design ideas.

12:00 PM

Email Delanie at The Craftsman and Apprentice about spring macrame workshops.

Turn on new Gregory Alan Isakov album “Evening Machines” and squeeze in an hour and a half on a custom wall hanging (a birthday gift for someone’s wife—how sweet!).

1:30 PM

Lunchtime: chicken over beetroot and greens salad with lemon juice and olive oil.

1:45 PM

Imogen is home from preschool. Quiet time for her and productivity time for me (more macrame).

3-5 PM

Another yerba mate’, dabble at my projects while juggling Imogen, household chores and dinner prep.

5:00 PM

Dinner with Michael and Imogen. We eat a regular favorite: buffalo burgers over spaghetti squash with cilantro pesto.

5:45 PM

Follow dinner with homemade spiced hot cocoa to satisfy my chocolate craving.

6:00 PM

Play a couple of rounds of speed scrabble with Michael before the bedtime/clean-up swap.

6:30 PM

I take dishes, Michael ushers Imogen to get her ready for bed.

7:00 PM

Imogen's bedtime. Clean up the lingering toys and socks and return to finish the wall hanging.

8:00 PM

Pull out another ongoing custom project—a giant textile rainbow for a hip family’s LA home. As I work, I shuffle through podcasts before turning on the next episode of Tidying Up. I have only succeeded in “Marie Kondo-ing” what we affectionately refer to as “Mt. Saint Laundry” thus far.

10:00 PM

Brew a cup of tulsi tea while chatting with Michael, then curl up to read the book my friend Lisa Gungor recently published: The Most Beautiful Thing I’ve Seen.

11:00 PM

Points and Highland.

The Panic of 1893 (which lasted until 1897) was a national economic depression that struck Denver hard because of the

FOURSQUARE

(AK A DENVER SQUARE)

Silver Crash that resulted in the plummeting price of silver. For example, Denver Urbanism explains that while 2,338 Denver building permits were issued in 1890, that number dropped dramatically to 124 by 1894. As such, extravagant Victorian styles and Gilded Age designs declined, and instead, more economical styles like the Foursquare rose in popularity.

The Foursquare—referred to as the Denver Square locally— was a popular option from the mid-1890s through the 1930s.

True to their name, Foursquares are boxy homes that average two stories. They are built to maximize a narrow lot size, as they usually contain four rooms on each floor. The Foursquare was a hot mail-order item: all pre-cut parts arrived in a boxcar with a book of directions straight from Sears, Roebuck and Company.

Their plain nature is partially why they initially rose in popularity, but it is also why they are ideal for experimentation, which later styles showcase. Even by the early 1900s, as the economy recovered, Foursquares were added onto with Queen Anne style flourishes, enclosed second-story balconies, gabled rooves, arched windows and even side entrances. The pared-down version and the more experimental versions can be found all over Denver, but frequently in Cheeseman Park, Park Hill and West Highland.

In addition to the Foursquare, mail-order catalogs like that

by Sears and the Aladdin Company also sold pre-fab kits for bungalows. Bungalows became an addition to Denver’s housing character in the 1900s, but they really took off from 1910-1930. The word bungalow originates from the Hindi word “bangala,” because it is a type of building originating in India’s Bengal region. Bungalows are found globally from Australia to the United Kingdom, and universally, they are low-rise structures that include verandas.

In the States, bungalows are characterized by the American Craftsman style, which derives from the Arts and Crafts movement in England that Denver Urbanism explains advocated a return to handcrafted arts. American Craftsman Bungalows were popularized in Pasadena, California by the Greene brothers, who designed what we since refer to as the California Bungalow. Like its Californian kin, Denver Bungalows are typified by their low-pitched gabled rooves that extend over their wide front porch verandas. They are modest, climate-adaptable and versatile. Bungalows populate neighborhoods that blossomed in the early 1900s like Berkeley, Congress Park and Washington Park.

MODERN/ CONTEMPORARY ROW HOMES

Row homes go back to 16th century Europe and earn their name because they are literally a row of identical or mirror-image homes. States-side, after Philadelphia kicked it all off in 1799 with their Carstairs Row, row homes became a fairly significant feature of most American cities. Row homes are typically two-story, owner-occupied housing units that share a wall with a neighboring unit. While row homes are nothing new to Denver—I live in a Capitol Hill row home built in 1941— the contemporary row home is increasing in popularity.

While “contemporary” is a general term for modern styles that have yet to be classified, think of features of the more modern homes in Virginia Village and Park Hill, like straight lines, large windows and flat rooves, and characteristics of some homes in Cherry Creek, such as mixed-material facades (e.g., stone, brick, wood), split levels, large overhangs and copious glass. Contemporary row homes integrate such design elements, embrace asymmetry and are often built with a focus on sustainability, in that they may be built with recycled materials and contain elements to optimize energy efficiency. You can find these contemporary row homes in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Highland and Stapleton.

Sourced in Denver ON A WINTRY AFTERNOON, AFTER BEING MESMERIZED BY THE FORMATION OF A STUNNING FLOWER ARRANGEMENT AT BEET & YARROW, I SAT UNDER ONE OF THE SOURCE’S CONCRETE-HUGGED SUNNY SKYLIGHTS. Beyond the wooden elephant next to me was Station 16, featuring Mark Sink’s Smooth as Silk exhibition of famous Andy Warhol quotes, and in front of me another legend: Judith Boyd, digitally known as @StyleCrone.

Judith was dressed to the nines, per usual. Her silvery white hair was neatly tucked underneath a leopard-skin pillbox hat; her favorite print also echoed in her earrings. We chatted about yoga as she put out her deerskin gloves for me to touch—for which smooth is an understatement. Judith swears by yoga for mind, body and even for skin care; she has been practicing avidly since her daughter Camille introduced her to hot yoga in 2007.

In one of Judith’s older blog posts, I read about her fondness of one of my favorite poses, Virabhadrasana II—colloquially known as Warrior II—where your legs are in a wide stance, feet in line with one another and your arms are outstretched over a strong core, one in front and one behind you.

“It just fills me with some kind of strength,” Judith remarked.

As with most yoga poses, Vira II is a beautiful metaphor: your back fingertips reach into the past, your torso is strongly rooted in the present, and your front fingertips reach into the future, toward which your gaze softly looks. The Vira II metaphor is relevant to Judith, The Source and one of its newest spots, Safta: all three fixed in the present, which they are helping to define because they simultaneously honor the past and reach into the future.

Formerly home to a 19th-century iron foundry, The Source Market Hall is the first of its kind in Denver, and The Source Hotel boasts as RiNo’s first independent hospitality offering. Architecturally, it is a beautiful repurposing achievement: its blunt lines and use of concretes harken back to its foundry roots, and ample windows and skylights provide for an abundance of natural sunlight. The Source was born in 2013 back when it was Denver’s sole food hall and one of the first establishments in the now-resurrected Brighton Boulevard.

Alon Shaya explained that he planted Safta’s roots in the Source because it is an innovative concept designed for people “who are looking for comfortable surprises and who want to explore something different from where they’ve been before.” Alon was first attracted to Zeppelin Management’s innovative approach to their projects, which he says forefronts ethical values that align with those of his own Pomegranate Hospitality (e.g., equality, empowerment, creativity) to create anything but the predictable. As for the space, he sees endless potential, because there is so much room for growth and because it will never go out of style, as it does not adhere to trends: “The Source will always be unique no matter how much time goes by.”

The Source was ideal for Safta—Saba’s (New Orleans) sister restaurant—whose menu reflects Israel’s diverse demographic. Safta (Hebrew for “grandmother”) is a living homage to Alon’s grandmother, Matilda Gerassi, who transferred her passion for food and cooking to a young Alon. Matilda is Bulgarian and emigrated to the fledgling nation-state in 1948, so menu items are inspired by her culinary merging of Eastern European and Israeli cuisines. (You can read more about Matilda in Alon’s cookbook, Shaya: An Odyssey of Food, My Journey Back to Israel.) Safta’s menu is inspired by other grandmothers as well, such as Emily Shaya’s Nana, whose drink of choice, the Nana Martini, is one of their unique cocktails.

The experience at Safta is one drawn from nostalgia derived from the flavor-forward food, and design details like the pink hues, houseplants and retro glasses. I certainly felt pangs of nostalgia as I gazed at the colorful array in front of me: beets and pickles salatim, Hummus Tahini and some of the best pita I have encountered in the States all served on a silver platter like those my grandmother uses.

“Look at this, it’s just so beautiful,” Judith, now donning bold pieces in black and cream, exclaimed.

She proceeded to explain to me how the food is only one aspect of the experience of dining out, which she analogizes with attending theater: in addition to the food, the décor, the folks who work there and the other patrons all serve to create the experience, “a date with the restaurant.”

Judith resonates with Vivian Westwood’s sense of style, her attention to structured silhouettes, her feminism, her focus on sustainability and her steadfast belief in self-expression; as Westwood once said, “I’m not terribly interested in beauty. What touches me is someone who understands herself.” Fashion and blogging are Judith’s artistic expressions, both of which she developed during her grieving process as her husband Nelson battled cancer. In Style Crone’s early days, “What to Wear to Chemo” was Judith and Nelson’s therapeutic project: she would dress up, and he would photograph her in the exam room. Since Nelson died, Style Crone has grown into a noteworthy fashion blog coupled with its immensely popular Instagram account.

Recently, Judith has been working on “Widow’s Project,” a presentation to help widows process, which grew out of older blog posts.

For Judith, who will celebrate her 76th birthday in March, fashion functions both as artistic expression and armor. Rather than focusing on traditional beauty, she is attracted to interesting silhouettes, unusual combinations and the individual’s unique choices, because “there’s so much to be said about diversity.” Her comment extends its relevancy to Safta and the Source, which, like Judith, are helping to paint Denver’s contemporary landscape in the mode of Vira II.

ENTS WERE YELLING AT US ALL THOSE YEARS TO KEEP OUR ROOM CLEAN. And no, contrary to popular belief, the revelation is not actually that your floor should be free of dirty unmentionables. The lesson is that our spaces matter. What we put into them, we will get back.

Whether dirty laundry on your floor is a distant or not so distant memory, we have found ourselves in a different age of living. As Denver pioneers the way of remote working, we demand a lot of flexibility from our living environments; our bedrooms are becoming dining rooms, and our kitchens are becoming offices.

As dreamy as it sounds to work a remote job that doesn’t require you hiding your low-key obsession with BuzzFeed from your boss, we are here to tell you that remote working, contrary to popular belief is not always avocado toast in bed, and ‘whenever’ trips to Bali.

In efforts to save ourselves from productive demise, we roped in Denverbased Photographer and Fine Artist Jason Siegel. His home office, to put it lightly, is just dang cool. Hopefully, he can school us on how to work from home, not from your kitchen table (as I write this from my kitchen table,) and stay creative.
