EXTINCT ANURANS/ 1200-2020 CE
About the Project
This project is a collection-archive that includes all 184 extinct Anuran species in the last millennium. Concerning each record in the archive, we shall always come across a pair of polychromed ceramics, featuring the lost Amphibians. Lost creatures are placed on painted debris& broken tiles taken from local dumps. Pictures of salad& vegetable bags are shown together with the sculptures. They have been downloaded from the Internet. Each picture illustrates the supposed vegetal environment where the creatures have been surprisingly thriving until recent times. Purposely, frogs and toads are roughly modelled, as if having an amorphous body. In order to accomplish the project, a database with extinction venues, a chronological line and a pinpointed earth globe do guarantee us valuable scientific information
Sculptures modelled in FIMO ceramic paste. Oil paint.
