Interview with Liz West

[d]arc media editor Matt Waring talks to artist Liz West at her home studio in Macclesfield, UK, about her latest, immersive work of light art, Double Fizz, which is located at No. 1 St. Michaels in Manchester city centre. The permanent installation comprises thousands of vibrantly coloured, vertical triangular stripes in polyester vinyl, overlaid onto a mirrored surface, creating a rich mix of reflected hues. Over the course of the interview, West tells [d]arc media of the inspiration behind the piece, the challenges that came in bringing it to life, and the collaboration with formalighting to illuminate this beautiful new work of art.
