Woodman would often paste photographs on to paper and in journals as works in progress, surrounded by expressive, personal notes.

She usually puts herself in the frame, although these are not conventional self-portraits, since she is either partially hidden, or concealed by slow exposures that blur her moving figure into a surreal, ghostly presence. This underlying fragility is emphasised by the small and intimate format of the photographs.
