Architectural designer Lyn Russell and artist Nic Moon worked together on the Cocoon House for the Whole House ReUse project made from the materials of a demolished Christchurch Earthquake home.

They also hold the tissue memory of the original Rimu forests that were harvested to provide Christchurch City with family homes. Having the Buxton family, the original homeowners, step inside The Cocoon, hearing their gratitude and seeing their tears in the Whole House Reuse exhibition was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as an artist.
