The sound of wind moving through leaves, or water flowing over rocks. I chose wind flowing through eucalyptus leaves. I cut and shaped the leaves life-size out of sheet metal, and painted them. As I painted, I stuck each leaf’s wire stem in a vertical block of styrofoam to dry. Together, they hung strait down looking very un-windblown. At one point, I had to move the styrofoam and the leaves swiveled every which way, finally looking windblown. I had my design. I wrapped a rectangle of plywood in handmade paper embedded with thin pieces of string that helped animate the surface, painting it blue to suggest air or water. The leaves also remind me of brush strokes or koi in a pond. I made the SUSURRUS letters out of wire and positioned them to suggest their passing breeze-like through the leaves.
