| 1997 ACRYLIC/GUACHE ON CANVAS 98.5 x 153.5 This painting involved a process of many sketches, before developing the composition. At the time of starting this work, my husband and I started to think about having a child, which influenced my choice of items and the arrangement. Rocking chairs conjure up images of a mother nursing her baby. As the painting progressed and a child hadn't developed, I think my disappointment and confusion came through the picture, giving it an empty feel and a sadness, even though I refused to acknowledge or consciously express it myself. |
