Construction & installation of Chambre Verte - Green Room - Impressions de Lumière - 2007

 

28 Aug 2007

Cêdric carried out first experiments with cutting the bottles using a diamond grinding blade. There were problems cutting the line straight.

 

3 Sept 2007

Carried out more experiments with cutting the glass bottles, cutting a fine line with the diamond blade and then heating the line with a candle and then cooling the line in the glass with ice. eventually the bottle broke along the line.

 

6 Sept

Cêdric found an ideal piece of timber to mount the wire for the leaves on. Carried out some experiments with the green bottles but the colour is not strong enough.

 

7 Sept

Began work on the Green Room Installation, drilling small holes into the wood support and fixing flexible wires into the wood, then attaching leaves onto the end of each wire.

 

Once there was a few leaves in place, experimented with various lights and position of the light to see how the shadows are going to work. The green bottle idea is not going to produce the right effect.
 
 

 

 

8 - 9 Sept

Over the last few days I have finished installing all the leaves and experimented with a wide rage of lights and gel filters.
