solid poetry

Both the name and technology of this product have been useful in describing how a more technologically rich landscape can also be a more imaginative, dynamic, and fantastic place.

Frederik Molenschot and Susanne Happle "solid poetry" is a concrete that reveals graphic patterns when wet; revealing itself during rain or errant irrigation. The naturalistic patterns that are instantly revealed suggest a more immediate connection between rain and life, if only graphical.

As a materials specialist, do you think I could get a similar effect by painting a waterproofing medium on concrete? I would love something like this in my garden, but it does not appear to be for sale.
