Time To Defend Himself
The criticism actually blew up so much that Anthill Art had to defend what he did. According to him, the ant nest was one created by fire ants. We all know that those insects can deliver horrible bites. This is the very reason a lot of authorities want to cull these ants.
A Responsible Artist
The artist also explained that he tries to be responsible when it comes to his art. In 2013, he spoke to Metro about the issue. His statement read, “I try to find abandoned nests but it doesn’t always work out. Either way, I do it sparingly and the property is still overrun with them.”
