Unique!! Japanese Artist Tightly Rolls Newspaper To Create Incredibly Realistic Animal Sculptures



For
most us, newspapers are for reading. But for Chie Hitotsuyama,
newspapers serve a whole different purpose. Because as you can see
below, the Japanese artist doesn’t use them to catch up on the sport and
gossip. She turns them into incredibly realistic animal sculptures
instead.
She makes them by densely rolling, twisting, and binding
pieces of wet newspaper. The process is done entirely by hand and she
even uses the colored print to enhance the contours and gradations of
her subjects. From red-faced Japanese macaques to languishing lizards
and even a giant dozing rhinoceros, Chie creates the most stunning
sculptures from something that most of us simply throw in the trash.
It’s a brilliant way of turning bad news into something more positive.
