My quote of the week:


"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

Francesca Woodman 1958 – 1981

Francesca Woodman’s performance work is documented by a series of intense photographs, for the most part in black & white. She grew up in an old countryside farm house in Italy for most of her childhood which influenced a lot of her art work. Even as a young artist she came up with concepts for her work where her body becomes almost transparent and blended in with different types of material, as if wanting to try to be beneath the surface of the walls. She created such an odd and artistic new approach to photography that really had not been seen yet.
