Martha Wilson's piece "A Portfolio of Models" was my favorite piece of hers. The approach she took to create the work that made it appear to be light-hearted, such as throwing the wig on a little crooked, or the costumes looked like they were dug out of a thrift store, gave the piece good humor, as if she was humoring herself as a woman and all the roles we have been handed to play. The fact that we can be so many different things today makes me proud.  I was more interested in her background work vs. her work today.  The current work was more of a cohesive  self-portrait, where her past work dealt with current political and cultural issues.
