       Quiz answers are further down below the Jim Lambie floor installation.  Recall in Quiz One we also showed a floor design --- that of an overall Greek key floor mosaic.

                                        

      Notice how the stripes follow or emanate from the columns and walls as well as corners.  On YouTube you can find a video of Lambie and assistants putting down the floor stripe by stripe.  For further perspective, please also see more Lambie works via Google image search.

     Can you detect a rule that would allow you to construct the Lambie floor?   Compare and contrast with the Roman floor (shown again below the quiz answers).  

     Consider the uses, character, environment, physical, and emotional effect.  Also think how each floor physically wears and how looking at it wears on you.  

      Say, could you modernize the Roman mosaic --- by taking away the 3D illusions to make it more 2D?   Change to other colors, brighter colors?  How many colors?  Why?
