Elizabeth Kent is a British artist making highly crafted mirror artworks and works on paper. Working at the intersection of fine art and craft, she creates unique pieces, limited edition collections and site-specific commissions from her studio in London.

She considers each work as a lightscape, where fleeting interactions of light, reflection and landscape form are re-composed and materialised in layers of reflective metals and pigments on glass. Often working from her own photographic archive, she uses pattern, silhouettes and gradients of reflection to explore ‘play of light’ and reflective space as a stimulus for connection, absorption and contemplation.

She says ‘My pieces are often a hybrid form of window and mirror. I try to visualise and open up a threshold space, where the viewer is on the edge of two connected worlds: one, an internal, imaginative or contemplative space and the other, an external, dynamic, magical world of nature’. I’m interested in how the two interact, how they project into each other and de-stabilize a singular perspective.’

Larger scale works focus on immersive lightscapes, where the viewer is incorporated, made visible through fine layers of poured silver. Their reflected image dissolving and re-appearing in fine, silvery atmospheres - suggestive of clouds, vapour, bodies of water and veiled perspectives through foliage, curtains and glass windows.

Elizabeth has a background in Fine Art Sculpture (Chelsea School of Art) and has shown her work in art fairs, commercial galleries and museums in the UK, including the V&A Museum. Her work is held in a number of private collections.
