Francesca Woodman

Found this photo on http://artmarkets.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/francesca-woodmans-drama/

i love the curiosity I have when i look at this photograph. it asks questions, and makes me think. I wonder what the hand is doing in the frame, and why she is not paying attention to it. it makes me think of it as symbolism, like its a demon, or something dark in the presence of the woman, though she is unaware, because she cannot see it. i think this because the fingers are long and seem unhuman-like. i really like the composition, and how the direction of her face brings your eye to travel to the other side of the photograph. it makes me want to see what she is looking at. i really like Woodman's work, its very dark and moody, and i feel that my work relates to hers in that way.
