In all that, I tried to take some photos, but it was too chaotic to do a good job. So these are not great, but they're better than nothing. With back light and day light, before I made my name darker (at the right):
The display shelf for The Road, with my postcards (finally arrived!), and a note about the Transformed Books project:
Starting to get darker - I'm using no front light except day light. You can see Dave's work to the left - he does silkscreens on wood panels. They have this weird retro tom sawyer meets 1920s cartoon feel. I like them.
Night, finally. The lights are not lined up under the filters quite as precisely as I'd have liked, but no one else seems to care (at least not that they told me). And the holes are bothering me, a lot. I wish I'd made it completely solid, with no holes, and C confirms this. But again, in talking to viewers, no one else seemed to think it was the colossal failure that I was seeing.

I think you are right about it needing to be more solid. Maybe it's the circular shape. The holes might work if it were more like an amorphous cloud, which sounds like what you had in mind at first.
But really it still looks good to me! Really cool with the lights behind it.
p.s. I'm sitting here at the desk overhearing a patron (I don't know who they are but they said they saw you at Artomatic last night) commend you work. So smile!
From the photographs, I like the shapes the filters make as they are fastened together that are made more visible because of the holes. Maybe this is my architectural mind: seeing the flower patterns that emerge for example.
I also like the variation of light coming through the filters depending on how tightly they sit beside each other. so I think the holes are effective.
I'm glad the altered book project is included.
