Helsinki-based sculptor Miina Äkkijyrkkä is facinated with both cars and cows, both in the natural sense of working on a farm with cows, and in the sense of using a cow as inspiration and subject in her art. The Finland-based artist purchases dozens of used vehicles from dealers around Finland and uses them to create enormous cow sculptures that look like the four-legged war machines used in Star Wars.. Gigantic creatures these are.
