Marfa

Here are a few photos of the trip Cary and I took this summer to Marfa, Texas. It is in far west Texas and has become an artist haven during the last few years. Marfa is a town pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and you would never know by looking at it on the outside, but the town has tons of amazing pieces of art and a couple of really great five-star restaurants. It is really peaceful there. We have wanted to visit for a while now, and so we finally got the chance to go this summer for Cary's (belated) birthday gift.

We stayed at this hotel called the Thunderbird.

This is the outside of the warehouse where artist Donald Judd's 100 aluminum boxes are held. This is one of the main attractions in Marfa. Each aluminum box has the exact same rectangular dimensions on the outside but has a different shape on the inside. Sort of hard to describe but interesting to see.

We had such a great time being together!

This is an example of some of the art we saw in Marfa. It is a bunch of cars that are crushed up and stuck together.

Here I am trying to "blend in" to the art.
