I have been invited to revamp a rural home in the vicinity of Guadalajara, in the middle of a permaculture garden to turn it into an artist residency. https://animacasarural.com
Benefit for Anima Casa Rural ?
. I have re used everything at my disposal on the property.
. it was nearly a zero-budget project
. I gave new life to old furniture, with just a brush stroke, a collage or a bright colored fabric.
Benefit for me ?
I could put my skills of ‘re using into motion to serve a purpose and make a difference.
