Red! It's a strong colour. It says stop, and danger! It grabs your attention. At Heygate it certainly grabbed my attention.
This collection is about vibrancy in a place that is desserted. The Yellow Collection is about the signs of life we leave behind, and in a way The Red Collection is about that too, but these are the things we leave behind out of choice, the things that we avoid. The red tells us to not go in, to not try this at home and it tells us 'don't touch'. This is no longer home, it's sealed shut, marked for demolition and a jungle gym for the brave.
Red says "keep your distance".
