Ji Yong Ho - Mutant Mythos

Here we have "Mutant Mythos", a collection of sculptures done by Korean artist Ji-Yong-Ho. the amazing hand crafted pieces are made from recycled tires and include animals, humans, and combinations of both. The pieces were first exhibited at gana art, new york in 2008.

” Having grown up at the base of a large mountain in Korea, Ji adopted tires as his signature material based on a childhood memoryof the spare wheel on his family’s jeep, vital in the rural landscape where his grandmother raised cattle and other livestock.”

” This early exposure to both domesticated and wild animals informed his desire to make art about humanity’s responsibility to nature,via subject matter as well as recycled materials.”
