Art and Nature Combined With Ant Nests

The Final Product

Every piece of art needs a framework to display it. Gatlin takes the finished nest mold, brushes it off clean, and then mounts the network on a solid wood base with a finished stain and lacquer. The result is a piece of art that can be displayed on a table, as a coffee table decoration or put in a school lab and a museum as well. Given that aluminum mold is so light to begin with, it doesn’t fall over top-heavy with a good base attached, and people can’t stop looking at it once displayed.
