I found this just now http://www.tapeart.com/installations apparently there is whole world of tape art out there that I had never heard of, so embarassing. But if I ever want to create a wall of coloured chairs then …..
These are the new tape chairs. I used the same electricians’ tape but as I cut each length off I cut the tape again, halving the width. The drawing is not finished (obviously).
‘Drawing’ the chairs in this way is similar to stitching or using the pen – a line is drawn/cut, laid down, another one joins it. Each length is different, each width is uneven, and when these are drawn/created while wearing a fluffy jumper they can sometimes have the added attraction of fibres caught between the tape and the paper. Sort of upholstered stick chairs.

I don’t think you should be embarrassed at all. We all work away at things and come to a solution and then sometimes are either told or discover ourselves that someone else has done something similar. It is part of the process.

I agree with Fiona. None of can know everything we need or want to. But, just in case you ever feel like moving out of two dimensions, here’s a little something.

I’m not really very embarrassed, perhaps rather more amazed, but as you say, one can’t keep up with everything.
On the little something, funnily enough I went on a paper vessel making workshop at City Lit where we created the very same but using strips of white paper.
