5 ITERATIONS BY ALEXANDRA GRANT Alexandra Grant is a Los Angeles-based artist who works with language in a variety of materials and forms, including drawing, wire sculpture, neon, wallpaper, and painting. Her work was the subject of a MOCA Focus show this year at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Questions that inform her work are: When does handwriting become drawing? What is revealed about the nature of thought when the words we use to communicate are converted into other aesthetic forms? For X-TRA, Grant has created a project called 5 ITERATIONS. Based on her process of taking language from text through drawing, static sculpture and into kinetic form, 5 ITERATIONS is a document of each stage of her investigation of text as image. >>>
