3D - 2

Name of 3D artist who built a small island and lives in Chelsea, New York?

Looking for a 3D artist to do research on for class. Someone recommended me an artist who built a small island, used small units, and wore a dress for a year (not Alex Martin). She lives in Chelsea, New York. Does anyone know the name of this artist? Or can recommend any other 3D artists (not digital art, but with physical materials in their work)? Thanks in advance.

1. I am not sure of who you are thinking of. But if you looking for an artist whose work is very material specific look at Christo and Jeanne Claude's work. EDIT, This is still not the artist you are looking for, but they might be someone else for you to look into. In 2005 the Whitney Museum created a sculpture planned by Robert Smithson before he died in a plane crash. The sculpture was a floating island that was towed in a loop around Manhattan by a tug boat. So it fits the island part, but not the dress thing, plus he has been dead for 34 years.
