Liz West: Our Colour Reflection

This winter, the historic Chapel at Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) will transform into a joyful display of colour and light by artist Liz West.

Our Colour Reflection is an immersive artwork by Liz West that combines vibrant colours and radiant light, creating a captivating sensory experience. Opening during Wakefield’s Our Year Light Up festival, the 18th-century Chapel will be filled with endorphin-boosting light during the darker months.

The artwork is made from hundreds of mirrored discs in a rainbow of colours that will carpet the Chapel’s main space. Set at different heights, they capture and emit natural and artificial light, reflecting architectural details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Changing through each day, the reflections will respond to the weather and light quality outside.
