"In these paintings, I explore the relationship between the structural grid and the more fluid “characters” depicted in the image," Monroe said.  "The grid serves a dual purpose: On one level it connects elements of the image by creating a web or net in which all parts of the fluid forms reside.  The structure also gives the viewer something to grasp onto in an otherwise overwhelmingly nonstructural image.   In this way, the grid mirrors our own cultural need for structure though language, social hierarchies and networks, while the less defined movement of light and color represents those aspects of life both integral and indescribable.  "
