The Ant Portrait Collection
One face. One species. One individual work of art. A growing collection revealing the colour, architecture and character of ants at a scale the eye never normally sees.
Natural history transformed into portraiture.
Viewed at this scale, mandibles become architecture, hairs become linework and the surface of the head becomes sculpture. Each portrait retains the scientific identity of the species while being created to stand as an individual work of art on the wall.
109 Ant Portraits. One monumental poster.
A large-scale composition bringing 109 individually photographed ant portraits together in one extraordinary work. Choose from six sizes, from 82.7 × 50 cm to an imposing 165.4 × 100 cm.

The vertical format works as a single focal point, a contrasting pair or a group of three. Build the arrangement around colour, caste, mandible structure or simply the faces that command your attention.
