I came across this artist quite by accident.  Jim Lambie, who is Scottish, creates modernist sculptures and installations using everyday materials but most famously, vinyl tape.  Very bright and playfully colored vinyl tape.  His floor installations usually follow the line of the room’s architecture, which reveals its flow rhythm.  In this interview, he says that the room basically controls the piece. 

According to the National Gallery of Scotland, his Zobop floor pieces start as the strips of vinyl tape are laid down beginning at the room’s perimeter and ending up in the center.  His work is based on the concept of filling up a space yet still leaving it empty.  See if you agree.
