Bike Rack Made of Mud

Looked for this and apparently it has been replaced with a concrete patio.

Mud bike rack.

Mud Bike Rack

This functional art piece was built in November 2013 with the use of locally-sourced subsoil: a mix of sand and straw that forms an earthen masonry know as "cob." Because of the local soil's high clay content, it dries hard like cement. The structure was then sealed with Elmer's Glue to provide a protective coat.
