Now I have decided and hung the final pieces for the degree show I can investigate how to display the paintings on the acetate sheets. I wanted to use light boxes but one of those went phut! so I am thinking of my original idea of a way of fixing them to the windows.
I have black tape and two sheets of mount board so I am going to see what it will look like. It may block out too much of the light into my show space so I don’t want anything too permanent – yet.

Here they are in a photograph shown side by side. Stepping back they look good but not quite right. Perhaps I need to reduce the black surround?
