British visual artist Liz West is known for transforming spaces into immersive chromatic experiences using light and colour. Ranging from multi-storey car parks to cathedrals, power stations and white cube spaces, Liz has used her understanding of light and bold colour palette to change how we feel and behave in the spaces that her work inhabits. What is the process behind creating these environments? There are many anecdotes and challenges when attempting to create experiences of pure saturated colour and joy.
