Giant Dinosaur Sculptures Made of Recycled Rice Straw Pop Up in Japan

9월의 농촌은 세계 어딜가나 추수의 계절이다

일본에서의 9월은 2가지 의미가 있다.

농부들은 추수를 하고 볏짚으로 멋진 예술작품을 만드는 것이다.

이 볏짚들은 아티스트 에이미 고다의 예술작품의 재료가 된다.

그녀는 귀엽고도 무시무시한 공룡을 만들기도 한다.

재능있고 현대적인 감각을 지닌 이 조각가는 또 다른 거대 동물들을

만드는데 특별한 재주가 있다.

September in rural Japan means two things: farmers are harvesting their rice and the leftover straw is being used to make extraordinary works of art. Specifically, the resulting material is serving as a tool for an artist Amy Goda, who's creating some pretty terrifying dinosaur sculptures. The talented unconventional sculptor also has a knack for fashioning other giant beasts, including an intimidating praying mantis, an antagonistic crab, and an angry king cobra.

All of Goda's rice straw-related work has culminated in the yearly Wara Art Festival, which prides itself on recycling the otherwise useless matter. The event is held in the Niigata Prefecture region's Uwasekigata Park and will remain there until the end of November. If you want to see what happens when your average park features prehistoric creatures, you have about three months to do so.
