A custom expanded metal wall panel curved along the balconies at the University of Iowa's Hancher Auditorium, brought the stars to the interior chamber. The panels were made with two layers of expanded metal rotated, creating a Moire effect with back lighting giving the balconies an elegant starry shine.
