The story of Magenta Slate Menagerie
A fictional story inspired by the artwork.
Rain has filled the abandoned quarry, turning its stepped walls into a lake. The Menagerie watches the banks as reeds and nesting birds return. Some ledges remain loose, so the creatures keep well back from them, guiding visitors toward broad stable shelves where the stone gives a clear view of the water.
A bright patch appears beneath the lake even on cloudy days. Following its reflection, the Beasts discover an old drainage tunnel becoming blocked with silt. Water is rising against a fragile lower wall. The strange light comes from pale mineral dust suspended in the current, marking a change that could easily be missed.
They open a small surface channel across stable ground and let the level fall gradually. New gravel settles without a sudden rush. The luminous patch fades, leaving clear water and an easier shore. Their work protects the lake as a living place, allowing the old quarry to change without forgetting the weaknesses beneath its beauty.
The visual identity of Magenta Slate Menagerie grows from magenta, slate gray, mint, with six unmistakably different animal faces and body shapes. Rich fur, feathers, natural horns, and organic scale plates connect the creatures to the place they watch over. Their story values patient observation and cooperation, leaving room for a landscape and its residents to change without losing the connections that help them belong.
