From The Saatchi Gallery website:
This parody of grotesque consumption re-emerges with Liu's Love It! Bite It! – a model plan of a city made entirely from dog chews. Comically editing down the world to only the 'tastiest' bits, Liu's utopian vision re-engineers the breadth of Western history - from the Coliseum to the Guggenheim - as a carnivorous spectacle. Constructed with painstaking detail, ornate columns, cornices, and magnificent domes tower with warped approximation giving the scene a post-apocalyptic aura, rendering cultural heritage and power as an abject skeletal (or rawhide as the case may be) remain.

This incredible masterpiece is made from edible dog chews! And that looks like St. Paul's Cathedral at the front to me. Find out more below...
