LIU WEI

My auntie t0ld me about an exhibition she had seen at the Saatchi gallery in London, featuring a city made of dog food. Intrigued, I researched into this and found Liu Wei's city, entitled 'Love it! Bite it!', that was exhibited in the gallery in 2004. What is so incredible about this sculpture is that it is not only amazingly intricate, but the fact that it is made of edible dog chews, yet is still beautiful. Painstakingly crafted, the ornate columns, cornices and domes portray Wei's meticulous attention to detail.
