“For now, what interests me is how things get made. This work was made in a fabrication shop in Los Angeles with help from some fabricators who do a lot of work for the film industry. The way they worked, the setup, the types of skills that people [in the shop] had were of great interest to me as we saw how we can take a process that’s in place and do something slightly different with it.” – Margaret Honda

For her commissioned sculpture in the Forum gallery, Honda painstakingly created the work you see here (including the hand-painted organs inside). Situated between the main stairway to our galleries and the hallway leading to the scientific specimens and installations at carnegiemnh, the frog provides a fascinating link between art and science in our shared building.
