After talking with Kate and the studio group, turned over a new leaf (probably much needed!) and broken away from the original cut-out shapes. Thought about the space and how blocking the light would affect it, and wanted to use some kind of shape that reflects the particular space and wall/window I was installing it into. The horizontal bars of the windows seemed quite prominent and when I started cutting and sticking up the paper they became even more apparent - revealing the structure of the window frames and space. The first image was trying a negative, kind of reverse, reflective image but I think too much light can get though and you could see too much of the outside. Part of the effectiveness I have realised is the fact that the paper obscures the view of the outside and if you want to see through you have to take note of the obstacles. Controlling the viewing much like I was controlling the way you read the text.
The next few images show how I decided to cover the windows and then some closer up views trying to see outside. Next step is filling the rest of the windows and the door!
