Bubblegum Blondes

Jason Kronenwald makes portraits out of bubblegum:

Comprised solely of chewed gum (all colors are inherent to the gum and mixed in the mouth), every portrait is manipulated onto a plywood surface, and sealed with an epoxy resin for protection and preservation.

From the exhibition website:

Exploring the pervasive scope of “Blondeness” in contemporary culture, Kronenwald’s Gum Blondes, portraits composed completely of chewed bubblegum, offer a cross section of popular blondes from Hillary Clinton to Lindsay Lohan.  Employing unconventional materials, a team of chewers and a critical practice, Kronenwald’s work positions itself directly within today’s celebrity obsessed mindframe, blurring the lines of fine art and pop culture.
