News & Press
A professional lighting designer for interior and exterior spaces, West is applying these skills to sculptural form by creating three-dimensional works that heighten our experience and appreciation of light. She draws from her knowledge of Light by considering how her works can react, exaggerate, and celebrate their properties in different viewpoints.
By making and playing with her ideas, she is always creating prototypes and exploring ways these conceptual ideas can be brought to life.
She worked and studied overseas and is now based in Sydney permanently.
Artist Statement
West’s work is created as a celebration of light and colour. Featuring dichroic material that filters different wavelengths of light allowing only certain colours to pass through while reflecting others into spectacular hues.

Stillness
I have wanted to create a body of work that resonates with being in stillness. I’ve been hibernating for the last while reflecting on my mindset. Taking time. Reprogramming. Through the practice of painting I have been practising stillness. These works are all abstract imaginings that are representative of no specific time frame, place or reality but rather a general energy or spirit.
All Is Not As It Appears
'Subterfuge lives amongst us' an all-new body of work by Rebecca Pierce featuring portraits, abstracts, landscapes and photography.
The Landscape is Beyond ME
“Western perceptions of land on the other hand position the landscape as the other and the outer, a site to be developed, exploited, and experienced. As a little boy growing up on the land I was constantly evolving within a combination of fear and wonder. The unfolding landscape was filled with forms of heroes and villains contained within nature, seasons, and time. This was and still is providing me with the essential ingredients of connection and experience. My experience of land was not that of conquest, violence, tragedy, or despair yet it existed upon it" – Dean Reilly.
Sydney Rocks
This exhibition is inspired by hikes around Sydney harbour and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. “We have on our doorstep one of Australia’s most diverse geological wonders of all time, The Sydney Basin. My painting inspiration is one small section by comparison but to me its presence is huge. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park with its beautiful Hawkesbury River backdrop magnifies the intense beauty, heightens the light and compounds the stature of the extraordinarily awesome monolithic ROCKS!”- Miranda Summers

Gardens, Water and the Great Outdoors
During the lockdowns Megan needed to work from her existing photographic stock. Studying these references it was apparent a running theme had emerged, that of
gardens, water and all subject matter taken from the great outdoors, hence the title.
Finding Stillness
This body of work titled ‘Finding Stillness’ provides the viewer with what feels like a safe haven, where a feeling of calmness and quiet pervades
The Quiet Life
I have a folder that I fill with interesting pictures of everyday moments. As I’ve returned to this file over the years, I’ve found that the images have evolved over time. I have altered and displaced the figures in these pictures to echo a transformation. An approach that gives rise to a dreamlike atmosphere where reality, memory and illusion collide.
