As the carbon paper was too fragile to construct a large screen to cover the glass of the greenhouse I looked to fix it to a more stable material. The first step in creating the work involved constructing a series of wooden frames to fix this material to that fitted into the various areas of the greenhouse. There were 12 sections in total - 4 for the side walls, 4 for the roof, 2 for the end wall, 1 for the door and another for the window next to the door.

Once these had been constructed I photographed the sections from the same camera position and constructed a scaled design of the walls in photoshop to experiment with some possible drawings that would work within the space.

 

The next phase involved gluing hundreds of sheets of carbon paper down onto a base of insulation paper.

I experimented with a wide range of glues - the one that worked best was a sinple glue stick.

 

This was a tedious task and took mnay hours of work - fortunately I was able to enlist some help.
