Box Theater Project - "The Panels"



Panel 1
dim: 24"x96"
mat: polyethylene





Panel 2
dim: 24"x96"
mat: polyethylene


The following are two screens that have been completed. We had a great debate on whether or not we should use 1/8" holes. Panel 1 has them; Panel 2 does not. When we went ahead with it, it did end up adding another seven hours to the process. But it makes quite a difference when viewed in person. Panel 2 took only two weekends to complete while Panel 1 took three.


We found the material in a plastics lumberyard outside of Pennsylvania. They had been sitting outside, by the river, and from time to time the river had flooded over them them. There was algae growing on some of them, and they smelled awful.
