The title came from the idea that
isolation plays a major role in
todays society. This idea we are
all wall flowers looking on other
peoples lives going unnoticed. We
feel these works express this title
in many different forms.

2. Deborah Turbeville
Born in 1938 , Massachusetts
Deborah Tuberville has been known
by most for her stylized fashion
photography that was often featured
in Italian Vogue and Harpers Bazaar
during the 60’s and early 70’s.
Through out her photography career
she often reverted to the more art
based photography publishing such
books as Wallflower and Unseen
Versailles which was her more
famous works in the art industry. In
this exhibition their shall be 5 pieces
featured from her project Wallflower.
Through the ghostly and ghoulish
images we get a sense of isolation
and invisibility which is a few of the
key themes touched on in this
Edward Steichen
Francesca Woodman
Steichen was born 27th March 1879 he
was an American photographer, painter
and art gallery curator. He was
considered one of the first published
fashion photographers of the early 20th
century. He had work featured in
Vogue and Vanity Fair. After WW2 He
then went on to be director of the
department of Photography at the New
York Museum of Modern Art until 1962 .
He died 25th March 1973.
Francesca Woodmen was an American
photographer she was born 3rd April 1958 . Her
most well known work is black and white
images with nude ladies with in them. She
wanted to express her views on gender
equality and how she viewed herself. She
studied at the Rhode Island School of Art and
Design. Woodman committed suicide on 19th
January 1981 aged 23. Although she lived her
short life her memories live on through her
spectacular work. Woodman experimented
with exposure and movement within her
images. The single figures in most of her
images facial expressions are
obscured, creating an expressionless being. I
feel that Woodman’s work really conveys a
feeling of isolation and creates this feeling that
the figures are insane.
Steichen's images perfectly convey this
gothic style with the de-saturated
colours and rich tones in the black and
white images. He creates a gloomy
mood,
but
the
objects
and
environments still have their beauty.
