A challenge embracing the ever-present presence of discarded gum wads by artist Aaron Luckman. “Gum Shoo” began on the streets of Boston in 2020 when Luckman discovered his consideration drawn to the small print that are inclined to get neglected throughout the common bustle of each day life. Particularly, items of chewing gum which have been dropped on the road, the sort often seen embedded with shoe-treads. Some vibrant, others drab, Luckman’s catalogue at the moment accommodates 1000’s of images and represents a whole lot of miles walked. The challenge platform, Gum Shoo Editions, has additionally began casting small gum bronzes:
“Like odd little fossils, these blobs of masticated artificial polymer more and more grew to become a topic of fascination the extra I seen them on my each day walks…. The Gum Shoo challenge has come to really feel unusually anthropological. Akin to the three-million yr previous Laetoli footprints of early hominins in Tanzania, or the Lunar prints left by the Apollo 11 astronauts; proof of our previous existence reminding us that even after we are not current, we linger in surprising locations, ready to be seen and appreciated.”
