Agricultural art reaches new heights in Jose Ferrufino’s ‘Slightly Windy.’ Slightly Windy is a music box with gold-painted barley that actually sways when the music is played.
It’s so beautiful it almost brings a tear to your eye. In all seriousness though, ‘Slightly Windy’ is one awesome art project. In case you were wondering, the barley sways to the beat of Dusty Springfield’s ‘Son of a Preacher Man.’ Art that is pretty to look at and plays good tunes? Sounds like a win in my book.
