Rocking Chair Drawings

In this series I use the act of caring for a baby as a form of mark-making. I hung pieces of graphite from the underside of a glider rocking chair which then created marks on a piece of paper attached to the stationary base. I began this series when my daughter was born and completed it the day she turned one. Anyone who used the rocking chair during the first year of her life participated in the creation of the works.
