re thinking woodman

having thought about the Woodman exhibition over the holidays and been looking at her work again in books i think that the exhibition for me actually felt less intimate than when i view her work in the privacy of my own home. maybe it was the sparseness of the Vitoria Miro, that big cold open warehouse gallery with the small prints, maybe being conscious of other viewers in the gallery, how much time i give to each image in the gallery setting (at home i feel free to flick through images or spend time digesting one particular image. so for me the exhibition wasn't successful in giving me the feel i originally felt about her work when only seen in publications, i came to the exhibition expecting to feel even closer to her work but came away disappointed.
