Cathy's Art Diary

Fun, colourful installation on the Tide walkway on Greenwich Peninsula by Liz West. The sides of the walkway and steps are lined with rainbow coloured plastic which throws patterns onto the surface of the structure creating kaleidoscope patterns. I loved the pattern up the stairs and the reflections it set up. You could also look through it to see multi-coloured views of the river. A great idea for these Covid times offering a bright, cheerful place to walk or sit or to sit and observe the world. I have only been around lunchtime but I guess the light and patterns change during the day so I’ll try to pop by at some different times.    

Fun installation in the atrium of Fortnum and Mason’s by Liz West as part of the London Design Festival. I was away for the week of the festival so it was nice to see even just one of the many installations and exhibitions around town. This was a lovely chandelier like structure made of a frame of cubes clad in dichroic film in two colourways which gives a multi-coloured range of colours as you moved round it and the light changed. It also mirrored the surroundings giving another dimension. It made you look at this familiar space in a different way. Closed 22 September 2019
