Appreciation towards LIZ WEST for providing the following description.

20-2视觉艺术中心联手英国艺术家Liz West推出了一项壮观的色彩反射装置，改装置将数以百计的彩色圆形镜子铺满了圣约翰教堂地面，让彩色镜子反射的光晕渲染出缤纷的室内环境。访客不仅能在镜面上看见自己，也能通过镜子，色彩，光线，与艺术品和建筑进行更深层次的对话。

20-21 Visual Arts Centre is delighted to present Our Colour Reflection, an ambitious new work by British artist Liz West. The installation transforms the interior of the former St John’s Church building now housing 20-21 Visual Arts Centre gallery by using hundreds of mirrors to reflect the gallery lighting into the roof space, projecting colour up into the historic interior. Viewers will see themselves in the mirrored surfaces as they explore the space – creating a dialogue between viewer, artwork and architecture.

教堂建筑通常拥有独特的历史与内涵，还有庄重的氛围。这个别开生面的装置让人们意识到光与空间的关联，并感受到色彩与光的活力。艺术家成功的挑战了游客的感官，并从精神，情感，心理等各个层面感染访客。

“Taking time to research and consider the history of the building and the weight of connotations it holds as a former place of worship, West has thought about stained glass and the importance of light within the space. Viewers will each have their own perspectives and their own experiences tempered by movement through the space and through time. By going unplugged here, West emphasises that while artificial light can be manipulated it can only, at best, replicate the dynamism, shifting mood and changes in quality embodied in natural light.” – Francis Pearce, (editor and writer for publications inc. Lighting – Illumination in Architecture, Blueprint, Apollo and Vogue).

Liz West creates installations that use light and colour to transform spaces, and people’s experience of them. She aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer, tapping into our deeply entrenched relationship with colour, and exploring how it can move viewers, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

Liz West studied at The Glasgow School of Art. Previous large-scale works have included Your Colour Perception, which had visitors returning to Manchester’s Federation House to witness the space saturated in colour, and her acclaimed installation An Additive Mix at the National Media Museum. Recent months have seen her shortlisted for the prestigious Aesthetica Art Prize, receiving a Bursary Award from the Royal Society of British Sculptors, and complete a major public-realm commission in the Spinningfields district of Manchester.
