Final 3D Piece: The Making of the Mouldy House

Investigating the combination of nature and urban environment. I build this 3D house as a representation of urban decay. The growth of mould on the house is symbolic of natures power over the urban landscape. Inspired by the work of artist Daniele Del Nero.

The above structure was made using corrugated cardboard and a lot of Uhu glue.

All you need is a bit of Uhu :)

The making of the mould was lots of fun. Taking flour, water, salt & food colouring. I mixed some greens, yellows and pinks to create a mould looking goo which I then applied to the exterior of the house. I shook dry flour over it when I had applied all layers to create a aged, mouldy look of decay.
