Whispering In The Leaves and Chris Watson workshop

Chris Watson currently has an installation at Kew Gardens which is well worth checking out. There was also a series of workshops, one of which I was lucky enough to attend this week. The early start and long commute into London was well worth it, I gained a lot of knowledge and inspiration from Chris and the other participants. 

The installation itself, 'Whispering In The Leaves' is fantastic. Housed within a huge greenhouse are eighty speakers which play two sections of sound, recorded at dawn and dusk in the tropical rainforest. A truly immersive experience.
