Back in 2004 (yes, we realize this is technically old news, but Candy Addict wasn’t around in 2004, so it’s new to us), Arizona-based artist Heidi Heisse created a Hummer covered in gumballs. Well, it’s not really a Hummer, it’s just in the shape of a Hummer. The piece, entitled Sugar-Coated, is meant as a social commentary. The description on her website states:
“This life-sized gum-ball covered HumVee comments on pop culture and reminds us of soldiers handing candy to children in far-flung countries at war with us.”
Pretty deep stuff for gumballs, if you ask me.
*drool*
