PROCESS!

A gentle curve is created by hanging a thin metal plate in the air. By gravity, the plate naturally bends into an ideal light reflector. Different curves can be achieved by using plates of varying thickness.  Suspended from two points, it captures the form of a sheet of paper being carried in the wind.  It flattens out into a simple metal sheet when it is returned to the ground.
