Original artwork description:

This is the second ant I have made, and this one is full black with a degraded white in the tip of the abdomen. It's made with dyed wire of different thickness and an abdomen in epoxy and fibreglass. It's heavy because I have not used casting for the abdomen. It is made by different coats to give the desired shape.

For the body I have not used sketching nor measuring tape. I only use my hand to measure. The eyes are glass from Panjiayuan Market in Beijing.

Materials used:

metal wire, fibreglass, epoxy, glass
