Publisher's Synopsis
Order and Subjectivity. The environmental artist and ecological researcher Brandon Ballenge possibly comes closest to an idealised synthesis between art and science. His artistic practice is immersed in the study of biodiversity, ecological change and global species decline. In particular, Ballenge has been working on declining and abnormal development of amphibians as a way of visualising localised environmental degradation. His practice incorporates primary biological research and ecological surveys, working with members of the community and scientists, culminating in art works, exhibitions and published scientific research.
