From the Artist’s Statement:
Over the years I’ve jawed most of what the world has to offer, I believe gum is a smile waiting to be given away, and I’ve created 30 works totaling more than 35,000 pieces of gum. I’ve now come to the realization that the gum justifies the art. The fun is in the chewing and the art is an expression of the fun. Just remember, gum is not chewed for health or sustenance. People chew gum for pleasure. It is in that spirit that GumArt exists, and I am a spreader of gum.
Chew by Numbers has possibilities, though. What is a sudoku, after all, but a template for gum art? All I need are 9 different colors of gum.
