Francesca Woodman

Francesca Woodman is an artist I have been directed to explore. Over a short period of time she created a large body of work. I am presently doing my first critical paper on her work with a comparison to Cindy Sherman and her Untitled Film Stills series. Both artists started creating black and white photographs during the same time period, the late 1970's. I am looking forward to seeing this movie.

The Woodmans 
Directed by C. Scott Willis
(USA, Italy, China) – World Premiere
The Woodmans are a family united in their belief that art-making is the highest form of expression and an essential way of life, but for photographer daughter Francesca, worldwide acclaim came only after a tragedy that would forever scar the family. With unrestricted access to all of Francesca’s works and diaries, The Woodmans paints an incisive portrait of a family broken and then healed by its art. In English, Italian with English subtitles.

Cyanotypes 2016

I have been working with the cyanotype process more seriously for the past couple of years, adding to my Ms. Behavior series and to an on going series called Dulce Suenos which the piece being made below is part of. The photograph is of me creating a large scale cyanotpye on silk of Hilaconea while visiting friends in San Poncho, Mexico and where these plants were growing in their garden.  (photo by Bill Paarlberg who assisted me in this piece) The final piece is for sale and presently exhibited at Camera Commons in Dover, NH. Halaconea, 40x48 silk, stretched.
