This is a sculpture I made for a project called "The Altered Book," where we had to somehow use a book any way we wanted to tell a story. I decided to make it into an ant farm by using a bandsaw to cut up a landscaping book and glue it together to look like the dirt portion of the ant farm. I then used a router to cut out the pathways and added some real grass and dirt etc. The entire thing was made from scratch, from the wooden frame to the arrangement of glass. This piece ended up being the showcase to the Graduate Show at Adelphi University.
