Takeshi Horisaki cast a ravaged New Orleans house with latex paint before demolition. Listen to this radio broadcast from WNYC. He installed it in Socrates Sculpture Park in the Queens. It is interesting to see the house transformed into the latex replica that has a cloth like quality - swaying like a curtain.
Thank you for the comments. What is the name of your piece with pine needle weaving. I found your blog on the installation of Social Dress and found it very interesting.
I revere the stuff of nature -- both the detritus and the wonders. While transforming earth, fibers and branches into mysterious vessels and sensual objects, I seek to relay messages heard only by the ear of the heart. Forces and forms of nature act as metaphors for the barest bones of the human condition. I borrow building techniques from past cultures and the natural building movement. These include: structures from Native American architecture and Japanese fence building, natural clay plasters, and straw-clay building.

But, I actually did many weaving before. I like weaving. In New Olrenas in 2000-03, I did pine needle weaving and the installation.
