About The Artwork
When The Met opened its doors in December 2016, following a £4.6 million refurbishment, at the centre of the historical building is a newly commissioned installation by Liz West. The site-responsive piece entitled Sevenfold plays with the natural light of the space and injects vibrant colours and a sense of illusion into the magnificent entrance and staircase of the Victorian neo-classical building. Sevenfold takes its reference from Newton’s rainbow sequence of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet found when shining pure white light through a glass prism. Seven individual and vast prisms (six coloured prisms in the main installation plus one white prism above the reception desk) have been created that use mirrors to further radiate colour and reflect elements of the beautifully restored architecture.

United Kingdom
Liz West is a British artist (b.1985) who graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2007. West’s broad body of work encompasses wall-based artwork, sculpture, and site-specific installations. West creates vivid environments that mix luminous colour and radiant light. West aims to provoke a heightened sensory awareness in the viewer through her works. She is interested in exploring how sensory phenomena can invoke psychological and physical responses that tap into our own deeply entrenched relationships to colour. West's investigation into the relationship between colour and light is often realised through an engagement between materiality and a given site. Our understanding of colour can only be realised through the presence of light. By playing and adjusting colour, West brings out the intensity and composition of her spatial arrangements.
