OUR PERSPECTIVE – SEEING RED

Seeing Red is a community textile installation developed through workshops at the Makers Space during July. Participants contribute embellished red fabric squares responding to the theme “What does Seeing Red mean in Colac?”

The completed works are installed as a large textile wall hanging on the exterior brick wall of the Makers Space, with additional elements extending into the adjacent tree, creating a visible public artwork that reflects community voice, creativity and participation.
