"Lion 2" Yong Ho Ji
2008 stainless steel and used tired

at first glance i thought that this was some giant sculpture made out of clay and then i read the description for it and its all tires!! crazy huh? Ho Ji works with old tires and creates these really awesome fantastical creatures. his other work includes animals of prey, herbivores, and he even did a unicorn. all of his work is pieced together tire. i really like his stuff because it is different. its certainly not classical looking and has a really grungy edge to it, which is the stuff that i tend to like more. now, with that all being said i also like his stuff because he is really using his resources to the best of their ability. plus its all recycled with is what my project is all about!! mostly. haha.
