Alexandra A. Grants installation entitled nimbusII (after Michael Joyce's "nimbus,") 2003, was part of the Contemporary Museum of Baltimore's exhibit entitled,
"Double-Take: The Poetics of Illusion and Light."
This work, a drawing without paper, is a sculpture in twisted wire filigree that hangs from the ceiling like an ephemeral cloud. Grant has shaped the wire to create an infinite line drawing with embedded passages of text that when hung from the ceiling casts a delicate shadowy double of these words on the gallery walls.
