Raw Material: Portraits of Babies

 
1988 through 1990 I photographed babies in their home environments. I was interested in exploring the variety of "nests" that babies are born into, knowing that each child will need to acculturate to the values and norms of their given family.

These photographs were made in Dallas, Texas and in my hometown of Chicago. They were exhibited in Sitting Pretty, Art Institute of Chicago, August 29, 1992 - January 3, 1993.
