Chewed

the long version

A collection of more than 140 colour photographs by Arne Svenson of toys that have been chewed and eviscerated - literally 'loved to pieces' - by enthusiastic cats and dogs. As with their hugely popular book Sock Monkey which developed into an all-out Sock Monkey craze boasting toys, cards, posters and more, Arne Svenson and Rob Warren have taken overlooked, inanimate objects and, through the art of photography, imbued them with intriguing, comical and human characteristics.
