If you ask people what the town of Marfa, Texas is all about, you'll hear a variety of different narratives describing this small, rural cultural curiosity: It's an old place that is having new life breathed into it; It's a dying town that's being reborn as a cultural center. It's hip...it's dried up. But if you ask Ginger Griffice and Chick Rabourn what Marfa means to them, they'll tell you it means home. Like many of the "expats" that move to Marfa from elsewhere in the country, Ginger and Chick quickly found that it was a place where the pace was slower, where they had the space to create, and that they could not only pursue their own personal goals and dreams, but also integrate themselves into a thriving community of artists. Their adobe house, which is both firmly grounded in Texas' indigenous architectural history and in Marfa's modernity, is a perfect example of Marfa's many contradictions...and of its many charms.
