Havetta’s first chewing gum artwork was the head of a woman, and he liked working with the material so much that he spent the next few months creating a body for it, as well. It took a lot of time and a total of 500 pieces of nicotine gum, but for the artist it was all worth it. Just so you realize how long it takes to make one of his nicotine gum sculptures, you should know David has only created a few dozens of them in the last twenty years. They include a horse, flowers and even an old table clock modeled.They are all made of hundreds, sometimes thousands of pieces of gum.
同時David 在嚼口香糖時也發現,這玩意可以作為一種材料來制作雕塑。某一天他發現自己嚼過的口香糖,很像女人的頭。在接下來的日子David 瘋狂嚼掉了N塊口香糖,開始自己的創作。據說通常的制作周期是一天。想想他制作雕塑的日期,不難發現他在過去的20年中已經創造了很多雕塑。包括馬,花朵,甚至包括一個舊的臺鐘模特.這些雕塑都是由數百塊,甚至數千塊口香糖拼制而成的。
