Untitled, Providence, Rhode Island (nude Self-portrait Pinching Waist)
A young woman pinches the flesh of her bare waist, the gesture simultaneously intimate and clinical, as if examining or measuring her own body. Woodman's characteristic use of long exposure and spare, decaying interior spaces lends the image a ghostly, temporally unstable quality. The photograph exists in the space between self-scrutiny and self-erasure, themes that defined Woodman's deeply personal and haunting body of work.
