£1,950.00
Marching Leafcutter Ants – Home Series.
A sculpture that will intrigue and create a talking point in any situation, whether it is a Home or office.
‘Home gives us a feeling of belonging, no matter whom or what we are. Whether it is a nest, house, habitat, or ocean, it’s a place to feel safe, connected or part of a community.
A home provides space for an individual to shelter, sleep and eat in relative peace. For families, tribes or colonies it has the added opportunity to communicate and share knowledge.
Whatever organism we may be, we all have a place where we feel comfortable – we know it as home.’

On a trip volunteering in the Amazon Rainforest in Peru, I came across a line of leaf cutter ants marching back to their nest. Each carrying a piece of leaf or pink petal creating a dancing line of colour.
I wanted to make the piece part of the environment where it is placed, whether it is a shelf or mantlepiece.
When placed against the wall it appears that the ants are entering their nest within the wall. There are also 6 individual ants that can be positioned anywhere, again interacting with their surroundings
w 17.5cm x D 13cm x H 17.6cm. Individual ants x 6 - W 6cm x L 8cm x H 2.5 cm.
