BUILDING DRAWING II: "SEEDBED, AND...” is a play on Acconci's performance of similar name. The 'SeedBed, and…” is meant to be entered through a below ground tunnel, just large enough for a six foot person, who steps down, moves through a short tunnel, and steps up into a space comprised of transparent walls which sandwich dirt all around. A dirt ceiling is above the transparent plane above. Inside the small chamber is a chaise on which to lounge, to find ease, to contemplate the “seedbed, and…”. The inhabitant is not visible, as in Acconci's piece, yet will be heard from within the piece, as they hear sounds and voices beyond the transparent 'walls’. The piece will resemble an inverted vitrine of dirt sitting inside another room or in outdoor space, with entry stairwell which descends nearby.

Daly participated in a discussion reconsidering Francesca Woodman's work, which was published in The Art Journal.
