Woodman was a young photographer, artist and student, who made most of her work in the 1970’s before her suicide at the age of 22. I wanted to look at her work because of the way in which she takes advantage of the camera and its recording method. 
The slow shutter allows the artist to blur her subjects together, merging and amalgamting them together. Young girls (usually Woodman herself) morph into the decaying architecture, becoming part of it, fading away into brick and peeling wallpaper. In this particular image Woodman has been very succesful in getting the image balanced, it is aesthetically a strong image, with a deep and dark background to it. The image can be seen as a metaphor for the darkness of adolescence and the worries of teenage life – which eventually resulted in Woodman’s own death. It is also a reminder of mortality, as the building decays, so does the young female model, she is not able to escape the effects of time.
