During our session of light and shadow we were introduced to look at shadows and how they can be manipulated in different ways. At the beginning of our first inclass shadow study I wanted to see how shadow shapes can be manipulated by folded openings that can possibly apply to shading membranes for buildings.  In exploring the effects of different aperture sizes on one screen demonstrates the capability of how the minor changes made to half the screen can affect the overall pattern of a set of shadows.

The screen is cut symmetrically with openings on one half allowing more light to penetrate. On the other half of the openings only the mininmum amount of light is allowed to pass through. The effect at different angles creates almost a sundial effect. Also the symmetrical pattern with different aperture sizes creates a modular piece that placed in a sequence could create very unusual patterns.
