The installation will be composed of dyed strips of nylon material sewn together to create a large gill like structure fluttering in the wind. Long strips of fabric will have pockets of beads sewn into the bottoms, so as the wind blows the piece will activate, sounding similar to maracas. The movement of the material in the wind will also sound similar to the rustling of Tibetan Prayer Flags. Depending on the elements the volume of the piece will fluctuate. The piece will be suspended about 6′ high so the viewer can walk underneath the piece, getting the full effect of the sound.
