Jennifer West, Heavy Metal Sharks Stripes, 2013

This edition by Jennifer West was produced by Nottingham Contemporary on the occasion of the 2013 thematic exhibition Aquatopia. This major thematic exhibition gathered together over 150 contemporary and historic artworks that explored how the deep sea has been imagined through time and across cultures.

West processes her work in a very unique way by transforming film negatives using unorthodox methods of interference. In this work, West obscures the celluloid with grainy brown residue highlighted by a wash of reddish pink.

All profits raised from the sale of this limited-edition work support Nottingham Contemporary’s free programme of exhibitions, educational activities and research programmes.

Please note that orders of artists' editions can take up to 2-4 weeks to process. Please allow for this when making your order.

Jennifer West (b. 1952) is an American artist who lives and works in LA. West is known for her digital films that are made by hand manipulating film. West’s work is in museum and public collections worldwide.
