Malamp UK, Brandon Ballengee, 2007 (The Arts Catalyst)

Artist Brandon Ballengée's work bridges the gap between biology and art. He combines a fascination with amphibians, fish and insects with techniques of fine art imaging. For the past ten years, Ballengée's primary field of study has been amphibian declines and deformities. During 2007 and 2008.

The Arts Catalyst has commissioned artist Ballengée to lead a UK study into declining amphibian species, through participatory lab and field-based research investigations, working with the public as well as collaborating scientists. Ballengée's investigations are being enabled by residencies at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Gunpowder Park, Essex, and SPACE, London.

parasites are a huge cause of amphibian deformities, the fluk parasite deforms the frog legs (when it enters it as a tadpoll0 in order to make it easyer pray for the animals it enters in its strange cycal. many times if the parasite misses when it is trying to attach its self, when this happess the fluk will force the frog to grow extra legs. believe it or not
