The next time you’re feeling bored on a rainy day, try making a version of the FRAMEicarium like the ones above. This eco-friendly wall art by Hugh Hayden and Katie Vitale, turns actual ant farms into living canvases, helping you beat bland walls for good.
Fun fact: the Hugh Hayden and Katie Vitale FRAMEicarium moniker is actually a play on words using the word formacarium (an enclosed ant colony) and frame. If you don’t want to sully your walls, these FRAMEicarium designs can also be propped up on a desk or shelf.
