My essay "Self Portrait" at The Rumpus 


Francesca Woodman




Self-Portrait in Red #2:



Tell me, what does a woman do with her anger, with her rage, or with her shame over being made subservient, secondary, object? Where in her body does it live? How many times can she circle back?
She sees herself through the eyes of a man looking at her looking at him, a self divided. What she cannot tolerate about the world she buries there, in her body.
