On Certain Floors, Certain Wonders, an exhibit of recent paintings by Nora Sturges, head of Painting and Drawing in the department of Art + Design, can be seen April 26-June 9, 2018 in C. Grimaldis Gallery, 523 N. Charles Street, Baltimore.

The exhibit depicts an imagined world of arctic ruin. Strange scenes of a desolate land are occupied by man-made objects and structures – a tarmac, satellite dish, stanchions and wood planks. Vacant rooms and hallways of industrial banality suggest a subterranean facility where life has retreated indoors. Although devoid of any human figure, these works signal a lingering presence of some unknown inhabitant, recently departed.
