Rhiannon West British artist, lives and works in Sydney, Australia Rhiannon, a founder of weSTUDIO, creates immersive installations, where natural landscapes and energies, such as sunlight, wind and sound, play the leading role. The piece ‘Wind Reflections’ was made for the annual exhibition ‘Sculpture by the Sea’ on Bondi Beach. It features 128 dichroic glass lenses, positioned to reflect the light from sunrise to sunset. The wind generated by the turbine, located nearby, is used to control the RPM of the sculpture throughout the day, as well as powering a series of LED uplights at dusk. The sculpture signifies the importance of renewable energy and the effortlessness of powering and illuminating artwork.
