“WeAVE of Colour” Project in Acland Street St. Kilda
21 Mar 2023 by Tensile Design & Construct
The Tensile team loves working on art installations in public spaces, and the vibrant âWeAVE of Colourâ project in Acland Street St. Kilda was no exception.
The playful temporary artwork installation is a co-creation of several partners and bringing it to life was very much a collaborative affair. Our role was to suspend the 60 fabric hoops over the Acland Street mall, where shoppers, pedestrians, cyclists and diners congregate.
To say that we are proud of this project would be a severe understatement. Take a look at this marvellous project at the link below.
