Chris Townsend, Francesca Woodman (London, 2006), p. 76 (variant)

“Francesca Woodman, known for her bold insistence that we look at her unclothed and unmasked is precariously positioned, naked, over the root system of a mighty large tree that has succumbed to its fate. The combination of tender and tough and life and death seem autobiographical and thoroughly poignant." - Robert Klein
