- About this work
-
The Pitcha Makin Fellaz have painted a huge work in which two growling grass frogs of different colour face each other, in a radical interpretation of ‘I see you: you see me!’ Below the giant amphibians are a myriad of tadpoles, and behind the frogs are innumerable insects. The frog depicted is sometimes named the Southern Bell Frog or Warty Swamp Frog and is local to Ballarat. It is struggling to survive in this urbanised landscape.
