Jim Lambie:

I have been looking a lot at his work recently:

 - works within the space
- alters the viewer's perception
 - introduces colour relationships (constrasting colours) - I have been looking at colours that make others pop and buzz against each other.
 - angles and lines
- suggesting movement and optical illusions
 - use fo everyday household tape

Jim Lambie is a Scottish artist who creates vinyl tape floor installations using colourful geometrical shapes on the floors of everyday spaces. He creates angles and lines of contrasting colours, using household tape, to suggest movement and optical illusions that hark back to a kind of 60s timewarp. Once normal everyday rooms become injected with a vibrancy bordering on the psychedelic.

Rebecca Ward:

Rebecca Ward lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She uses miles of colored tape to transform white exhibition spaces into dynamic rooms with vibrant intersections. The nature of the medium results in a temporary transformation and adds to the importance of in-person viewing. From her bio: “Ward frequently works with tape installations whose primary concerns are colour and space. Tape adheres to the gallery’s ceilings, walls and floors converging with the architecture. This perceptual play of colour, texture and light is set into motion by the viewer’s interaction with the work.”
