Manchester-based artist whose large-scale installations transform architectural spaces with light and color. West studied Sculpture and Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art (2007) and has worked with light, mirrored surfaces, and colored materials to create immersive environments that blur the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, and painting. She states she "learned colour before she could read" growing up in South Yorkshire. Her practice investigates how sensory phenomena invoke psychological and physical responses — tapping into deeply entrenched human relationships to color. Major commissions and exhibitions include Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Natural History Museum London, Paris Fashion Week, Milan Design Week, Dubai Design Week, Chester Cathedral, and the Bristol Light Festival 2026 where her installation Our Colour Reflection — 765 mirrored acrylic discs in 15 hues — transformed a parking garage into a kaleidoscopic passageway. Represented by Daniel Benjamin Gallery (London) and MTArt Agency.
West operates at the intersection of art and architecture — her installations are commissioned by institutions (Natural History Museum, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, National Trust) that typically work with far more established names. The institutional CV is punching above her market tier. Her work is experiential and site-specific, which means the collectible objects (smaller light sculptures, mirrored works, color studies) are more accessible than the headline installations suggest. As immersive art continues to grow as a category, artists with genuine institutional backing and a proven ability to transform spaces at scale will become increasingly sought after.
The large-scale installations are commissioned works — not directly collectible. Look for studio works: smaller mirrored acrylic pieces, color field studies, and sculptural light objects that capture her core investigations at a domestic scale. Gallery access through Daniel Benjamin Gallery in London or MTArt Agency. Prices at the emerging tier mean entry points under $10K for smaller works. The institutional exhibition history (Yorkshire Sculpture Park, multiple design weeks) provides provenance support unusual for this price range.
