Material Narrative
I have lot of bicycle tire at home and I know that they are not recyclable. I always saw them rich of properties even if they were broken. During the workshop
I get in touch with their potentiality : it was not possible to melt the tire rubber and work with temperature. Furthermore the limited dimension and the structure
of the object make di cult to create a twist. I ended up cutting them and using their colors end the circular shape that they maintain.
The result is a rubbery material with tire cut inside that remand the cross-section of a tree.
