When I was working on the original version of this I discovered the world of digital mirroring. I was playing with a photo of windows in an airport and somehow ended up mirroring the photo, and that's where the fun began. I just recently mirrored one of my old drawings and I thought it would be fun to go back to this one (that inspired my latest addiction: digital mirroring) and mirror it again. I'm not sure which one I like better, but this is definitely a nice twist.

Series emulating the photographic style of Francesca Woodman to show how women are often perceived in society.
This painting represents a magical perception of this spot. Each time I go there I get in a peaceful mood. I used the pictures of the branches to paint the tree.
The way Van Gogh paints his drawings also inspired me to paint the fields.

I can never decide between black and white (my favorite) or color. Feedback please?
Is it in the perception of the soul, or perception in the mind that creates the battling reality of the shot. Or is there nothing, just the constant continuing on of the reality the perspective is in? There is something that grabs me with this one, though. I believe a calm should be set about through mankind and when the reality sets in of this shot, I don't feel calm. I feel enraged, regardless of circumstances.
My first body of work shot entirely on film.
I’ve always been partial to the idea of creating a body of work which revolved around a place and its details. Such series of photos have the power and ability to form an opinion or shape the audiences perception of the place, therefore, one must be careful that this place is portrayed truly not to create false impressions.
It is important that the photographer conveys the ambiance of the place and this is achieved by including a healthy mix of shots. Some captured scenes picturing the surrounding environment to provide context. The images belong to the fine art genre, and are generally taken using large format, 8 x 10 cameras due to the immense detail these cameras are able to capture. Such photos are often printed to a larger scale to allow the viewer to delve into the photo to look at the smaller details in the photo.
In conjunction to the wider style of photo, a closer view should also be included which zooms into the characters of this scene. After showing the environment of these characters, the viewer should have sufficient contextual information to understand the characters situation, role and also possible feelings. These pictures often frame the characters working, or going about their day to day life. Depending on the case, there may be more than one person in the photo.
The next type of image is the closer, portrait style photo of the character which should successfully provide a visual representation of the inhabitants of such places. These people are framed centrally and obviously, often accompanied by objects related to their position or job. Subject isolation is key since this photo is not focusing on the background, but rather the person in frame.
I think of it as picking a random person from the aforementioned captured scene, and putting them in the spotlight to give a close view of their appearance, and facial expression. These often naturally link to their situation and personality.
An alternate way of explaining this, is by describing it as a ‘silent visual interview’. The viewer receives information about the character, as if the character were answering interview questions about their life; however of course, there is no exchange of words. For this reason, the character must be framed obviously and clearly. The people in the spotlight are often looking directly into the lens, making close contact with the viewer and photographer and strengthening the bond between them. This is crucial.
The idea of the zine is to document the living structure and style in Menorca, as well as the inhabitants of the island, as this is often ignored and not considered when we think of Menorca. Instead, it is commonly regarded as a party island or a holiday destination rather than a living space.
Due to Menorca being an island, these inhabitants and their families have often been living on the island for many generations and their farms and traditions have been passed down. This makes it an ideal place for a project. The inhabitants are very resilient in refusing to let holiday makers change their traditions and culture, which keeps the scenes natural and pure and an exact representation of what life on the island is like.

My 60th Year
I woke up this morning thinking about observation and perception and the similarity and difference between my internal perceptions of myself and what I outwardly observe about myself. Of course this all has to do with my obsession this year with aging. I realize that it’s a cliché to say that I don’t feel I’m any different today than I was twenty or thirty or forty years ago. But when I look in the mirror I don’t see the person I see in my head and I wonder what happened to that tight faced young woman and I think I want to be her again. But really I wouldn’t. I would not want to have twenty or thirty or forty years of experiences have had no impact on the way I think. Or the way I love. Or the way I dream. The twenty year old me wasn’t yet a mother or a grandmother and did not, could not, know how to give true unconditional love; the thirty year old me thought that career success was what I needed to be accepted and the forty and fifty year old me, well suffice it to say a whole lot happened in those two decades. So here I am on the cusp of sixty and I may mourn that I see a saggy face and thinner hair when I look in the mirror but the reality of it is that I like myself more now. Oh, there are still things I would like to change: sometimes I’m too selfish; sometimes I snap and growl and stomp; sometimes I’m too opinionated. But most of the time I’m just OK and that’s OK with me.
What do you see here?
A bunch of colors in the form of different shapes?
Maybe you see cells and this is from a microscope.
Maybe you see a black landscape outlined in blue, sitting below a blue sky.
Maybe you see a blue landscape upside-down sitting in a black sky.
Maybe it's a map for a match in a random video game where kills, deaths, and plays are marked.
Maybe it's a topography map. Scatter plot graph, maybe? Perception offers unlimited possibilities. You just have to find and see them.
Your Colour Perception is Liz West’s largest site-specific installation to date, incorporating all 5000 square feet of Castlefield Gallery’s New Art Spaces Federation House fourth floor in Manchester. West will react to the architectural space using colour and light to create vast immersive installation art. This presentation of new work was open for the weekend 31st January and 1st February between, intentionally utilising the darkness outside to raise the strength of the illumination and colouration in the work. Using the enormous space to install a light work in the darkest Winter months will allow the colour to bleed with more saturation than if displayed any other time of the year.
