"Five years ago, I began making bricks, cinder blocks and later 1 ft. cubes out wire. The bricks, though nearly invisible, still read as a solid. I used them to brick up my windows. The one foot cubes were less stable. Their frailty, insecurity, was humorous, human. I stacked them. At  5 ft, my height, the stack became a self-portrait. These works were pivotal in demonstrating how simple, near invisible objects, can embody a psychological state, carry emotions." - Mary-Ann Monforton
