Emergency Response Studio

I featured Paul Villinski here a few months ago as one of our junk artists in Things You’d Never Imagine From Beer Cans, Gloves and Chairs.
These days Paul is concentrating on building an Emergency Response Studio.
He’s turning a broken-down Gulfstream travel trailer into a “visually engaging, sustainably built, solar- and wind-powered, mobile artist’s studio.” It’s designed for use in emergency settings (like after hurricanes), and will provide off-grid space for displaced or visiting artists.
From Paul’s site:
“My experience of post-Katrina New Orleans made apparent the need for such a mobile structure to house displaced artists or enable visiting visual artists to engage with environments which have undergone disasters or are in a state of emergency.”
Visit Emergency Response Studio to see images and learn how you can donate needed items for this important project.
Wow – what a wonderful idea!
That is such an awesome idea! My DH and I are working on rehabbing an elderly travel trailer that may become my studio eventually. I’d love to build in some of the same off-grid features that Paul’s trailer has.
