Description
Animals, flowers, plants… The artist Margaux Grappe from Besançon proposes a bucolic mural to accompany the recent vegetalization of the space in front of the premises of the association Miroirs de femmes.
After a preparation of the wall, a nice coat of paint and a projection of the illustrations imagined by the volunteers of Miroirs de femmes, redrawn and composed by Margaux… time to paint! After the confinement, we continued the workshops alone… Many thanks again to the passers-by for their encouragement and compliments.
Margaux took the opportunity to pay homage to the rabbit drawing, inspired by an engraving by Albrecht Dürer, previously visible on the entrance of the nearby school (because yes, we are here in the Rue Dürer!).
The first side of the wall is finished… Now we’re waiting for the return of the beautiful days to find back the volunteers and begin the other side of the wall!
