Reviewing how my little light-box (or shadow-box) has been going, I got some encouragement to start using a projector screen to lift my 2D work (thanks Daisy!).

It's one of those overhead ones you may have had in primary school, which projected the lyrics for songs sung in assembly on it using acetate sheets.

Here's the OHP set up and how different materials responded to what I'm calling the 'projection-ground'.

Daisy and I experimented with the different materials, like meshes, papers, coloured cellophane and decorative fabrics. It was particularly lovely to see how the light and focus differed when the materials were warped and elevated away from the projector bed.

Sadly the newsprint/layout paper I've been printing on is too thick (so is the tracing paper!) to let the light pass through, so hopes to use them were a bit flattened.

I decided to use the paper web I made during the City project as well, it was easy to manipulate and created less dense shadows to some of the meshes and gauzes we had.
