Five Fire Ant Colony Casting Session Part 3: Casts 4 & 5
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ย. 2016
- Here are the last two casts of the five aluminum fire ant colony casting session. I thought that attempting to cast five colonies in one session and showing the result, regardless of the cast quality, would highlight the difficulty of doing casts; however, 3 of the 5 are probably among the best casts I've ever done. So, I guess I'm just getting much better at doing this.
The fourth colony cast turned out great. Like the others in the session (except the 2nd), I captured a large amount of the above ground hill, which is very difficult normally. It turned out 20.5 lb. This one was on display at the La Habra Children's Museum in California.
It was very late on the third night of casting and digging, and I was honestly dreading doing the final cast. After finishing the fourth cast, I shined my flashlight on the last colony to assess it and realized that I had stepped in it. At first I was relieved that it was ruined and I couldn't possibly cast it. Then, the idea of casting the shoe print came to me and I just couldn't call it a night without giving that a try. The shoe print looked cool with the classic converse tread pattern. I had to basically recreate the shoe print in place with sand, and build up the edges so that it would cast properly. I also broke up some sticks and spelled out "AHA" (abbreviation for Anthill Art) on the shoe print that would "inscribe" that in the final cast. I shined up the final cast and painted in the AHA. While not a professional cast by any means, I think it turned out pretty cool.
The finished ant colony cast can be seen here: anthillart.com/castings/077/

Those ants would have gotten a little of their own sting back bouncing around like popcorn in the tunnels.

At first I was concerned you were casting a native species hill, but once I saw these are fire ants, good riddance. Fire ants are invasive and detrimental to the environment, so this is a form of art AND saving the ecosystem!

Fire ants are a non-native invasive species in the Southern United States. I know some Southern cattle ranchers that would gladly allow him to make castings of all their fire ant mounds. They do so much damage and they are a threat to native species.
Mark Matson I would have him do castings to any of my fire anthills in my house they always bite my dogs to the point that they can't go outside all the time
I don't think he would, or else wouldn't the ants appear in the casting? Then again, I haven't watched many of his videos, so maybe he already did it.
