From corn mazes to spinning trees, crafty artists have found ways to maximize the beauty of nature and create gorgeous large-scale pieces of living art. Their artwork wouldn't fit inside a gallery or on a wall in your home. Instead, it's more appropriately enjoyed in person or from the sky.
While there is inherent beauty in tiny pieces of artwork, these large-scale living art projects prove that bigger is definitely better. Some masterpieces involve large expanses of surface area, while other artists have built up rather than out.
