Some Disordered Interior Geometries (1981 book)
Woodman created a number of artist's books, such as Portrait of a Reputation, Quaderno dei Dettati e dei Temi (Notebook of Dictations and Compositions), Quaderno (also known as Quaderno Raffaello), Portraits Friends Equasions, and Angels, Calendar Notebook.
However, the only artist's book containing Woodman's photographs that was published during her lifetime was Some Disordered Interior Geometries.
Released in January 1981 shortly before Woodman's death, it is 24 pages in length and is based upon selected pages from an Italian geometry exercise book. On the pages, Woodman had attached 16 photographs and had added handwriting and white correction fluid. via Wikipedia
Silver gelatin prints, reproduced together throughout an Italian geometry textbook. Handwritten notes, with Tipp-ex:
"problems to resolve: the surface area of a triangle, and parallelograms."
"These things arrived from my grandmother's they make me think about where I fit in this odd geometry of time. This mirror is a sort of rectangle although they say mirrors are just water specified"
"another rectangle"
"almost a square"
"I made this"
"then I traded it for this drawing"
