i am surprised that i've never come across francesca woodman before today, an american photographer (1958-1981). from age 13 she used herself as the main subject in her black and white photographs but she had a short lived career choosing to take her life at age 23 by jumping out of a loft window in new york. i am in awe of her photographs, and have never felt such a reaction to art, they are incredibly eerie and will continue to haunt me but also inspire me to use curiosity and truth.

I ADORE FRANCESCA WOODMAN!
