Visual artist, biologist, and environmental activist Brandon Ballengée (born 1974, Sandusky, Ohio) creates transdisciplinary artworks inspired by his research into what can only be described as today’s preternatural—or beyond natural—environments. Since 1996, his central primary scientific investigation and much of his art has focused on the occurrence of developmental deformities and population declines among amphibians and fish, as well as birds and insects.
