Tyres are not the most inspiring of base materials for an upcycle.  I'm sure in the 70's or whatever decade it was when 'man' first got a light bulb idea and rolled them into the garden to plant geraniums, it was a pretty funky moment but it's just not the done thing now.  Forty years later it's all about the filigree and fantastical.  Wim delvoye is a Belgian neoconceptual artist who's works have shocked and awed in equal measure.  Yong Ho Ji is Korean and studied fine art  (NY) and sculpture (Korea) and has exhibited these moody mutant mythos conceptions, consistently around the world for almost a decade.
