Frog Reliquaries from Artist and Scientist Brandon Ballengée

Ryan Nance January 10, 2015

Artist and scientist Brandon Ballengée has created this series "Malamp – Reliquaries".

Ballengée:

"These reliquaries are created by chemically “clearing and staining” terminally deformed frogs found in nature. This process obscures direct representation- as I do not want to exhibit large images of “monsters”, which would be frightening and be exploitative to the organisms. This process is followed by high-resolution scanner photography of each specimen to create individual portraits. These portraits are printed as unique watercolor ink prints (never made into editions) and each individual frog will be centered appearing to “float” in what looks to be clouds."
