Description

Ripley's Believe it or Not Exhibit at Memphis Zoo.
A Thailand-based creative group constructs life-sized sculptures of animals out of thousands of rubber ribbons cut from motorcycle and bicycle tire treads.
Each sculpture in the series has an inner metal rebar and wire armature to create the underlying shape and provide support for the massive weight of the tire tread ribbons. The pieces of tire tread are layered to resemble the texture of animal fur.

First of all I love the whole idea of using rubber that can be left in landfills for years and being used to create some beautiful creations. I love reading your description and what we learned. The texture in the background is perfect for the look. The way you composed it, the details are simply amazing and a work of art. Beautiful and fabulous look Candace. #1704272
