Hello!
Being
commissioned to make a new piece of work for this year’s Barnaby Festival was a
great start to my summer. Thank you so much to those who make the journey to
see the work and support me.
For
those of you who couldn't make it to Macclesfield to see the work, photographs
of the work can be seen here: Barnaby photos. It was
decided that the work would be kept at the Grosvenor Centre after the festival
had finished. The piece will be exhibited until the 15 September when it will
move to my Manchester exhibition.
I
was awarded an Arts Council England Grants for the Arts award is May this year.
Since I have been busy working on a new body of work (including drawings and
works on paper!). The new work will be shown at Piccadilly Place in my solo
presentation On Brown & Violet Grounds. Don’t miss it!

Solo Presentation | On Brown
& Violet Grounds
25 September – 2 October
On Brown &Violet Grounds is a new body of works by Liz West exploring her fascination with exuberant colour, sculptural form and intense light. Alongside a series of new light-based installations, West will also be exhibiting works on paper for the first time. Using un-conventional industrial and man-made materials, such as: electrical tape, aluminum and mirror, these pieces echo many of the materials utilized within her installation work. West’s two-dimensional explorations are driving new ideas within her practice and signal an important development from the successful colour-drenched Chamber series.

Blog | Have you read our blog yet?
Liz West and Alana Tyson met at World Event Young Artists in Nottingham
as two participating visual artists. After spending 10 days together, they
formed a close friendship and joint interest in the future of each other’s
careers. Both share many interests, one being obsessive behaviour, which is
often implemented in the making of their work.
Liz and Alana share their thoughts on this blog, discussing future
exhibitions/works and inviting other artists to join in.
