Chewing gum sir? How about a whole sculpture of pink chewing gum. Well that is what Maurizio Savini did he made sculpture out of fibreglass and pink chewing gum.
Maurizio Savini chilhood was affected by WW II and the fact American soldiers brought chewing gum to Europe. Savini created these pieces to give a glimpes to his memories good or bad.
These scluptures are created from thousands of pieces of pink gum. Savini works with the gum when it is warm and manipulate it with a knife. The important step to makeing this creation work is fixing the sculptures with antibiotic and formaldehude.
