Maurizio Savini, chewing gum sculptures.

Is a sculptor born in Rome in 1962. His sculptures are meticulously made ​​with thousands of tiny pieces of bubblegum pink!


This is what he says of his work: 

"Synthetic fleshy pink color, the obsessive square shape of the product unwrapped and ready to be torn to pieces by the power of the tongue, all compete for the senses impact. Applying this to the power and energy of the Sculpture and its history causes a short circuit having the capacity of turning the ludic in awesome. "


He spent the last 10 years of his life in chewing gum sculpting and says he is the most versatile material used. After molding forms, add them antibiotics and formaldehyde to give a finish.

Kate MccGwire, art bird feathers.


Coalesce, 2013
Kate MccGwire's practice probes the beauty inherent in duality, exploring the play of opposites - at an aesthetic, intellectual and visceral level - that characterises the way we conceive the world. 

Cusp, 2013
She does this by appealing to our essential duality as human beings, to our senses and our reason, and by drawing on materials capable of embodying a dichotomous way of seeing, feeling and thinking. 

Oscilate, 2013

The finished work has a consistent 'otherness' to it that places it beyond our experience of the world, poised on a threshold between the parameters that define everyday reality.
