Susanne Ussing (1940-1998) was a Danish visual artist and architect. One of her most striking works was this 1980 installation entitled I Drivhuset ( In the greenhouse ), installed at the Ordrupgaard Museum in Copenhagen. The sculpture depicts a female figure who has apparently become too big for (or has been trapped by) an imposing glass greenhouse. Constructed with newspaper clippings, wood and metal vents, the figure is so large that its feet seem to penetrate the brick floor below.
