What's with artists these days? First bread, now chewing gum?

Architizer last week featured a miniature cityscape constructed entirely of bread. Now the popular design blog is highlighting the work of yet another artist who used food as the sole material for building a model city.

Jeremy Laffon pieced together this exhibit with thousands of sticks of mint-green chewing gum. The trick, according to Architizer, is welding the gum sticks together using a small light. Learn more at Architizer.
