Episode 127: Jennifer Sirey
Jennifer Sirey is a Brooklyn based artist. Her process-driven sculpture engages organic materials and natural phenomena, incorporating glass, liquids, wax, bacteria, algae, and wood in monolithic, architectural forms. For years Jennifer has been refining a process of growing Acetobacter, or Mother of Vinegar as a building material to construct living sculptures.
Pretty On The Inside
TAKE A TRIP down Orchard Street in New York City, and there in what was once a clothing store now the art gallery, On Stellar Rays, you will see a plate glass window with five glass boxes. Within each are substances that appear to be tissue, flesh and blood and other liquids hard to contemplate for their bodily suggestiveness. The glass cubes grow membranes, fleshy organs either pink or a pale unearthly color, as if something of us were expressed in them. The contents seem both alien and physical filled, possibly, with test tube meats, those ones that promise to grow beef or genetically-modified fish.
