// In collaboration with artist Alexandra Grant
A series highlighting Grant's interest in the tension between the conceptual meaning and aesthetic representation of language. Motion, the fifth and final piece, translates "nimbus II", Grant's wire word sculpture at Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art, into an abstract, cinematic short film.  It was commisioned for the Los Angeles art magazine X-TRA and appears on a limited-edition DVD.
