Made of Wire
A Finite Colony…
All ants are made by Hand.
This artistic endeavor has a definite end.
I have committed to creating exactly 100,000 wire ants and no more.
Once the final ant is wound and placed, the collection will be complete forever.
Owning a piece of WireAnts means holding a specific fraction of this limited, lifetime body of work.
One at a Time
Nature’s marvels inspire every wire ant.
Made from a single wire, each ant ist about 1cm in size.
Each one celebrates natural beauty and complexity.
Not just sculptures, they honor tiny but mighty forest ants.
Here you can see the process step by step.
Crafted from fine wire, every twist reflects an ant’s true form and spirit.

A Symphony of Wire and Wonder
Patience isn’t just a virtue. It’s an art form.
Fascinated by the “tiny but mighty” nature of forest ants, Dieter creates unique genre art that requires steady hands and immense focus.
He is currently on a journey to hand-craft 100,000 ants, transforming simple wire into complex, living pictures.
