Christo and Jeane-Claude, Artists, Wrapped Trees

This work does not demonstrate a wrapped human body. 
However, there is much to be inspired by for our assignment of Human Body Wrapped. 






Starting on Friday, November 13, 1998, 178 trees were wrapped with 592,015 square feet (55,000 square meters) of woven polyester fabric (used every winter in Japan to protect trees from frost and heavy snow) and 14.3 miles (23 kilometers) of rope. The wrapping was completed on November 22.
