About the Item
This work of art is inspired by the tiny plant-like organisms called zooxanthellae live in the tissues of many animals including corals, anemones, jellyfish, sponges and foraminifera. These microscopic algae capture sunlight and convert it into energy just like plants to provide essential nutrients to the corals. When under stress, such as high temperature caused by global warming of the oceans and seas, they will die and leave their host, a process known as bleaching.
Alex Anagnostou, born in Toronto, has danced around with the visual arts for over 20 years. Sculpting blown and cast glass since 2000, much of her work is inspired by how glass has expanded our ability to see on a microscopic and macroscopic level. Her sculptures explore issues of time, space, nature, energy and interconnectedness. In particular, the filaments series is inspired by brain synapse activity and how these web patterns are emulated in filament structures within cells as well as light patterns within the universe. The sandcast glass Inner Space series explores issues of how we look upon the world, refers to personal dreams of travel and are map-like in appearance. The glass expresses the space that we often forget, between the earth and the ozone layer.

- Chromatica - tall, geometric abstract, powder coated steel outdoor sculptureBy Ryan Van Der HoutLocated in Bloomfield, ONAs the sun moves through the sky, the green and purple lenses of Ryan Van Der Hout’s ‘Chromatica’ capture the light and cast colourful shadows. Van Der Hout’s powder-coated steel sculptures were inspired by their work as a professional photographer. This compelling modernist piece features five hand forged black steel poles that fan out from the center and are top and tailed with five disks of framed glass. Their vision was to create pieces infused with light and motion. As a result, the sculpture is best viewed by walking around it. “Effecting something of a kaleidoscopic eye, the sculpture’s lenses interact with sunlight and with each other to combine colours in surprising and delightful ways.” Ryan Van Der Hout An interdisciplinary artist Van...Category
