Cement plant

My concept of re-creating nature from man-made material came from the notion of weeds growing through cracks in concrete within the city. So i originally wanted to create the weed with cement, which is impossible so i tried using clay as it would give a similar look. But that too proved too difficult, as it is such a heavy material and would never hold the delicate structure of the weed and roots. So i used wire as it has the strength to support its self and the flexibility  to be shaped in that way. But i did come up with a way to produce a concrete weed, with its dusty flaky fragile unnatural look. I covered  one of the weed i studied in cement. This was the out come:

 It wasn't  fully dry yet.
