Pic of the Day: Caught on Tape
11:56 am Tuesday Nov 24, 2009 by Caroline Stanley

Rebecca Ward, Seventeen Is Sharp

Austin-based installation and video artist Rebecca Ward should join forces with Sam Bassett. The woman does things with electrical tape that will blow your mind. According to her artist statement, she originally began working in the medium because of numerous color options and the texture. “When using tape, rather than leaving evenly-placed two-dimensional lines upon a wall, I expand upon the material’s sculptural potential and bring these installations into a third dimension,” she explains.
