Outdoor artwork always change as time passes because of its interaction with the elements, but these Terraform Sculptures are something else entirely. Instead of waiting years to weather and age, they actually grow before your very eyes!
Created by Robert Cannon, the Terraform Sculptures are made from concrete and moss. The moss, which inhabits the various concrete forms, continues to live and therefore grows within--until the concrete itself fractures and the entire form expands itself! Check out the gallery above to see what I mean.
