In Ji Yong Ho’s Mutant Series, he draws inspiration from Darwin’s evolutionary theory. A part of this series his mutant spider works reflects the artist’s investigation of the issure of change and mutation. Ji employs used tires and grants them ‘rebirth’ through sculpting them into creatures that appear both natural and fantastical. Just as every tire contains a unique history through the roads it has traveled, Ji literally migrates those stories into his creations, meant to reiterate nature’s majesty thorough a contemporary lens. In addition, Jin not only preserving them forever in aesthetic form, but also makes a poignant statement about the urgent pace of modern society. His chosen material selected because of its links to industrialization and environmental degradation, is intricately linked to the lively character of his mutants.
