| 'Hush' as a word has appeared in my drawings and sculpture for some time (see also images of Hush House and Silent Flow). My interest arose from the fact of it being almost a non-word as it is trying to suggest as well as command silence. It is intimately associated with lead which is known as the 'silent material' (making hardly any sound when hit and being in fact used as an insulator against sound). Also in old lead mining a hush was a valley where hushing (a process to expose the lead ore) went on. |
