Jennifer Rose Sciarrino's installation is comprised of blown glass and carved stone bearing the resemblance of microscopic cells of seeds, spores and bacteria on a magnified scale. 

The sculptures are held in precarious positions by their steel armatures, a likeness to the gestures of taking and receiving of such cellular information. An alabaster dandelion seed resembling a tongue, reaches towards a split glass archaea that may remind us of a kidney. Aspects of life are enlarged and entangled, creating likely or uncommon relationships in the complex systems of worlding.

Jennifer Rose Sciarrino is a Toronto based artist working in sculpture, video and installation. Her work considers our cause/ effect relationship with the living world as well as the underlying entanglement of the micro and macro within nature and technology.
