Approval From Experts
Paul Hetherington is a spokesman from Buglife, an insect conservation organization. He has given it his approval. “If the nest is empty, we would support this casting as it raises awareness to the fantastic architectural prowess of ants,” he told Metro. “However, if the ants are still present it is an extremely cruel way to kill them, of which we disapprove as they are effectively boiled alive.”
He Has Not Stopped
Even though the work was controversial, Anthill Art has yet to show any signs of giving up on the art form. As a matter of fact, he now has 37,000 followers on his Facebook page. While a lot of people do not approve of his methods, we can’t deny that it truly highlights what the natural world has to offer.
