That's a wrap!

After having spent 16 weeks creating four final pieces, it is now time to tie them up nicely. The way I plan on showing my four pieces is in a rather creative way. My plans are to use a box, big enough for 4 A3 pieces (perhaps A4, depending on cost and box-size availability) and paint the outside of it black. On the inside, I will glue in some black felt (which is 1m x 1.5m, but I will be resizing it accordingly.)
My four images will go on one side of the box each. The box will hang from the ceiling, and will hang at a height suitable for an average-sized person to be able to stand up in. 
As the box will be relatively dark, I will be supplying a torch to anyone who enters the box. My teacher had the idea to stick some fake fur onto the torch, to make it that little creepier.
The whole point of doing this is so when people enter the box, they experience a tight, dark, confined space. This will hopefully bring out a little Claustrophobia and Scotophobia whilst in there. The fur on the torch will represent Doraphobia, the fear of fur - which is a nice little touch (pun definitely intended.)
Although this idea is the one I want to pursue, it may be a little bit difficult to achieve. If this is the case, I will be using an A2 black card board, and sticking my photos to it. I will then use the 1m x 1.5m felt to cover it. What will happen is people have to lift up the felt and go underneath it to view the images. The torch idea will still be used to view the images properly.
