This piece is 4′ wide x 8′ high with crown molding used as a faux frame and a vinyl wall mural (link) applied directly to MDF/OSB/Particleboard wood. At the top of the waterfall will be a roll of receipt/toilet paper that feeds directly into the miniature paper shredder. When the audience member presses the button (approx 4-5′ in front of the piece) this will trigger the shredder to turn on, pulling the paper from the roll, and allowing it to fall continuously to the ground, forming a pile of discarded wasted, unusable paper shreddings under the piece.

Toilet paper didn’t work. Going with thermal paper roll, two door stoppers and eye hooks as the spool.
Decided to connect another 4×8 below the wallpapered board to make the piece 4’x16′, propped around 1-2′ from the wall, supported by the pedestal with button. Using extra vinyl mural to make transition to bottom abstract shredded piece. Hoping to have shredder out from the plywood 3-4′ to dump the shredding paper on top of person pushing button.
