Francesca Woodman, Artist, 1958 - 1981, USA




"Francesca Woodman is the first comprehensive survey of the artist’s brief but extraordinary career to be seen in North America. More than thirty years after her death, the moment is ripe for a historical reconsideration of her work and its reception. Woodman’s oeuvre represents a remarkably rich and singular exploration of the human body in space and of the genre of self-portraiture in particular. Her interest in female subjectivity, seriality, Conceptualist practice, and photography’s relationship to both literature and performance are also hallmarks of the heady moment in American photography during which she came of age." - source is Guggenheim.  Link here

Christina Bothwell, Artist

This artist is using glass.
However, the transparency of the glass is similar to what can be achieved with glycerin soap.
You can embed objects in the glycerin soap.
Or you can add ceramic forms to your soap.
