So... my camera is finally functioning again and im now uploading pics of the progress of my thesis project....
The idea for this project is overlaying foam panels that are backlit by lightboxes. I ran into a few problems with this project so far and still have few problems left to work out. I first encountered the problem of what to do with the foam panels. I originally planned on doing all the panels bright, vibrant colors. However, I thought a nice white/irredescent white stripe would make an interested background. But, once I completed the stripes I really liked how miminalist it turned out and the simplist beauty of the directions the stripes went. I also thought it would compliment the light boxes well. This posed a huge debate bc my whole thesis paper was about color theory mostly and now I basically removed all color from the piece. To slightly resolved this problem by adding color to my light boxes by means of glass mosaic tiles. The tiles are condensed at one end and dispersed at the other end. I had a few other minor problems but none of them are worth talking about. SO the only problem left is figuring out how to mount all of these panels on the wall in the gallery. They have to be mounted about 4-5 inches off the wall in order for them to be infront of the lightboxes and still leaving enough room for any heat produced by the light boxes to be able to escape and not melt the foam panels. So far the only way i came up with to mount them is joining to L brackets together to form a U bracket. However, I am concerned that because of the size bracket i will have to use, the weight of the bracket will be too much that it will rip when mounted to the foam. Any suggestions of other ways i can mount the foam panels?
