Jantje Fisscher’s breathtaking constructions really are “drawings in light”: She uses certain plastics to construct light-gathering patterns that take her longtime fascination with natural form and rhythm to new heights. Her work has developed over the years from interesting but relatively dry explorations of pattern to increasingly ecstatic immersion in an expanded idea of the natural. Mary Griep’s drawings of notable sacred buildings from around the world may seem pale beside Visscher’s indulgent work, but she has solid merits of her own, and also explores the relation of form and the meaning that is power. Ultimately, it makes for a very interesting pairing. 612-870-3131; www.artsmia.org
