Artist Kirstie Macleod created the Red Dress project in 2009, and has stitched many embroideries along the years, often as a visual diary to mark key events.
Geometric Disintegration 2010-2021
Begining as a geomteric design, over the years I began to break and disperse the motif into the Red Dress
Spiders Web 2012
This motif is couched, and speaks of my desire to create a web of connection and unity around the world through the Red Dress Project.
