Seeing is a new temporary public artwork from Brisbane-based artist Sebastian Moody, developed in collaboration with Brisbane-based designer Sai Karlen. Somewhere between a list and poem, Seeing is comprised entirely of six letter words intended to create moments of contemplation on Brunswick Street.
