Joseph in the Door way of our rental home in Marfa, TX

Karen La Du

The 3 doors we became obsessed with during our stay in August 2015
have led to a series of 52 abstracted drawings.
4 Series of 13 pieces each based on a door.

The first door we encountered was the one on the dilapidated home

across the street from where we were staying.

This was the view from our place across the street. Our destination was totally unique.  I had been out west before, Joseph had not, but we were both in new territory.  There were dilapidated buildings like this interspersed with middle class homes and upscale homes, galleries and restaurants.  An eclectic town with so much to offer artists and non artists who love art and super interesting places to visit. Out in the middle of far southwest Texas, Marfa is very close to the Mexican border giving it an even more exotic feel.  So much history here. So much being made as Donald Judd’s Chinati Foundation grows with the addition of works by other artists and of course the greater influx of tourism that has occurred through articles about Marfa and word of mouth.

This particular door became the catalyst for 2 different series.
