Freshly mopped hallway, horse anatomy poster.

Apropos of not this photo, I have an idea and the desire to make some art. I'm picturing full sized human/animal/fungus figures made out of an imaginary material that works like clay but sets without firing, like concrete. I will encourage moss and other life forms to grow on these sculptures. Any ideas what material comes close to the medium I'm imagining?

I believe you can mix perlite with cement for a light-weight casting medium.

Craft porcelain is neat, although expensive.

somewhat OT: boxwood topiary.

Concrete over mesh forms? Mesh forms filled with soil and covered in sheet moss with plants encouraged to grow on the forms?
