Art and Nature Combined With Ant Nests

Judgment Reserved

From a purist perspective Gatlin’s work may wrong, killing life to create art. Others don’t find the lines so defining. The fact that there is debate and there continues to be attention at a process that creates an one-time, amazing form of display and creativity by some kind of life, whether human or insect, is fundamentally the root of why art is so influential. In medieval and renaissance times art was promoted and resisted. Today is not so different. We still debate its value, sometimes in arguments, sometimes in respectful debates. Art is as much about how we think as it is how we react and emulate the world around us.
