CAUGHT ON TAPE Austin, Texas-based artist Rebecca Ward (rebeccasward.com) uses coloured gaffer tape to create vivid, site-specific installations that play off existing architecture. Ward lays evenly spaced lines of tape that crisscross ceilings and staircases, rise up from floors and walls, and form threedimensional sculptures. Ward has done corporate commissions, including an eye-catching hot pink and yellow work for Kate Spade’s New York flagship store. Her installations can range from tape-only creations to more elaborate designs that incorporate video and projections. More photos of her work are on BizBash.com. —Lisa Cericola
