Its been a few years ago now since I first came across the work of photographer Francesca Woodman.
Her work haunts me so this Easter I brought the Kindle edition of Isabella Pendicini’s Francesca Woodman: The Roman years: between flesh and film.
I have always been drawn to Woodman’s compositions and the sense of surface in her photographs and was interested to read that alongside the surrealists and Man Ray Pendicini states that the 14 th century Italian art including those of the painter Giotto’s were a major influence on Woodman. Pendicini continues that Woodman made drawings studying spatial organization of the Italian painters which were a part of her careful preparations for her photographs.
Another aspect of Woodman’s work that has interested me has been her use of cyanotype printing.
Researching to find out more about the cyanotype process I came across the Alternative Photography site here on WordPress.
This wonderful site has an amazing plethora of information on many photographic processes as well as much useful information on cyanotype printing methods.
