Feeling Colours

 "Colour is life for a world without colours appears to us dead"

                                                             – Johannes Itten

Feeling Colours explores the connection between colour and human emotion using upcycled furniture, art and textiles. How does colour affect our sense of calm, excitement and well-being? Can we create inviting and rejuvenating space by understanding and promoting colour? The exhibition will feature several ‘room segments’ showcasing the canvas art and textile design of Ellen McKenna. It is hoped the exhibition will serve as an inspiration for visitors to create and explore colour havens within their own communities, businesses, and homes.

This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2021, an initiative of the Victorian Government in collaboration with the NGV.
