House of Souls
Adrienne Heinrich, a native of Indiana who lives in Pittsburgh, has a large installation that embodies that approach.
Titled "House of Souls," it shows a field of wheat inside a translucent house. Newspaper clippings are superimposed on the walls of the house.
Wheat, of course, is a staple crop in America, and an icon of farm country.

As for the clippings, Heinrich said, "The newspaper is a record of one day. We read it and then throw it away."
