Redbud Gallery presents “Sculpting Endless Forms” from Louisiana artist and biologist Brandon Ballengée. Fish species that fell victim due to environmental disasters are aesthetically restored and photographed to show their beauty and luminosity. Others are oil paintings containing a mix of Deep Water Horizon crude oil and other sources. Pigeon species are digitally recreated and printed to reveal striking variations of color and shape.

However, beauty is not Brandon’s first purpose in showcasing his work. With this exhibition, he presents a pathway for questioning the effects of human behavior on natural habitats.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until February 26.
