Here are two large bronze ant sculptures installed on the front lawn of the Florida Museum of Natural History, where the artist encourages people to entertain and interact with them. With 40 years of professional casting experience, YouFine is able to provide high-quality replicas to customers around the world.
Ants are small and insignificant in people’s minds, but when the artist presents them in the form of bronze sculptures, they give us another feeling. Through the ants enlarged to the same proportion, people could intuitively feel the power of this creature.
About This Famous University of Florida Ant Sculpture
These giant ants named “X” and “O” are bronze sculptures made by American artist Susan P. Cochran. XO means hugs and kisses. The title emphasizes the communication between ants. Each sculpture weighs 1,100 pounds and must be transported from a delivery truck to the ground using a forklift.
Cochran hopes to change people’s negative perceptions of insects by making them friendly and interactive through her sculptures. Cochran invites people to sit, climb and play on the ants. Cochran hopes to evoke the inner child in viewers by letting them play with ants and rediscover the world of insects in a new light. Cochran loves bugs, and she hopes people who see the sculptures will appreciate them.
