Of Foehn
(Debuted At Angie Star March 2009)
Foehn, pronounced feyn, is defined as a warm wind descending a mountain and what we have come to know as the Chinook Winds. After moving to Colorado from the east, I became fascinated by these powerful and unpredictable winds. I continually wondered, what kind of trails would they make and what would they look like? I wished that throughout its journey, the wind could carry with it a paintbrush and cover the sky with its gestures. Soon I began to sketch the paths of the gentle swirls and the robust gusts, trying to create a visual form. I began to feel what they looked like as the wind would dance through my hair, or stir through the leaves. The next step was to take those sensations and sketches and morph them into a tangible representation, the outcome being this jewelry line. My goal was to harness the wonder and beauty of the wind and capture its power. I hope you feel it.
