Viewing Liz West: Fluorescence

British artist Liz West has created the prismatic public artwork for Granary Square this winter, a 10.7 metre totem of brilliant diagonal stripes of colour – a signature in West’s work – installed with UV lighting that makes the triangular prism glow at night.

Visitors are able to sit right next to the sculpture, explore it up close or experience it from afar; the intersecting lines of colour will appear different depending on your perspective and proxmity. The abstract piece draws inspiration from the winter festive period’s celebration of light – found across many cultures and religions.

Fluorescence is the latest in a series of winter installations commissioned by King’s Cross as part of its programme of art and culture in the rejuvenated neighbourhood, and sits in the heart of the Coal Drop’s Yard where there are weekly special events and markets happening in the coming weeks – keep an eye on their website for more more information.
