Life is for living. I know there are those who denigrate a creative
and artistic lifestyle, preferring instead to sit indoors, basically
criticizing everything, and taking the dogs for a daily shit. That to
me, is a living death, like being buried alive. Anyway, I am excited
about the architectural possibilities in front of me...

"MARFA — “Marfa is the weird that Austin wishes it still was,” said Tex
Toler, the city's former tourism director. “These things exist in other
hip towns, but in Marfa they exist in the middle of nowhere, in a place
with amazing weather and incredible light.”
In downtown Marfa, one might run into a MacArthur Fellow getting a trim
at Quintana's Barbershop or a German art buff waiting for the Andy
Warhol exhibit to open.
Among its charms are the stately Paisano Hotel, a first-rate bookstore,
its own public radio station, art galleries and studios, poetry readings
and film festivals, and residency programs for artists and writers.
Foundations abound, some the legacy of Judd, who in 1971 came to Marfa
from New York.
Before Judd died in 1994, he acquired a lot of Marfa real estate and
created large permanent art displays...."

"Humble materials such as metals, industrial plywood, concrete and
color-impregnated Plexiglas became staples of his career. Judd's first
floor box structure was made in 1964, and his first floor box using
Plexiglas followed one year later."
