ShivamCastings At Museum
You will be surprised to know that the castings Gatlin has made till date have not been limited to just pleasing the general public through videos but have also made a place in museums. A casting of his is on display in Chicago Museum of Science and Industry new Numbers in Nature exhibit.
You Can Buy It
Yes, what you read in the title of this slide is true. These astonishing casts can be purchased from eBay. The credit for this goes to artists like Gatlin and others who are making it possible for the public to take a look at the beauty of nature.
Different Kinds
You will be surprised to know that these beautiful structures are available in various sizes and designs. The artists have perfected the art of making it and after making some slight changes in the process of making it the end product changes drastically.
An Appealing Description
“We are careful to pour only one main entrance of the mound so that the entire colony is not killed and is able to rebuild, in addition to sprinkling cayenne pepper around the mound the day before we pour to encourage the ants to relocate,” this was the description of an anthill posted on eBay for sale. The primary reason for this was to raise awareness among the people that no harm is being caused to ants while casting the structures.
Your Decision
So, in the end, the conclusion is that it depends on you whether you take this creation positively and applaud the artists for their effort or do the exact opposite as some people have been doing. Though, the number of people buying them on eBay and going to witness them in museums show that majority lies in the former half.
Mother Nature
Apart from all the other things, one positive from the whole incident is truly heartwarming which is the response of the people towards the killing of ants. This shows that are still some people who think about nature and possess thoughts for conserving and protecting it.
