Pouring Molten Aluminium Into An Anthill
An amazing sculpture is made by pouring molten aluminum into a fire ant colony. The resulting cast is huge, weighing 17.9 lbs. and reaching a depth of 18 inches. |

Re: Pouring Molten Aluminium Into An Anthill
Yeah, if a kid burns ants with a magnifying glass people can see it is cruel. Burning a whole colony to make art is okay though.  ETA: After finding out they're an invasive species that should/would be killed in pest control, I feel a lot better about it. Still, I know that is largely a happy coincidence. |
