I really like Jim Lambie's floor installations in which he uses glossy tape in a variety of colours upon various indoor spaces.
Whilst the vinyl tape is a very average everyday item, Lambie uses this in a way that completely changes the dynamic of a space. He transforms plain, lifeless floors that would usually be ignored into dynamic and energetic pieces of artwork that attract attention and interest.
I think this particular artwork is quite relevant to our way-finding and sign system brief. I think that the way the tape curves and moves along the floor almost creates a sort of 'path' and is almost a way-finding system within itself. It looks as if we are meant to follow the lines and that they will lead us or take us somewhere, which is something I think could work very effectively within my own project.
