Space and time Quote by Giuseppe Casetti
““Her excess of vitality was generous and singular, Woodman chased away the melancholia, decanting stories and seeing the other side of things, as if through the metaphysical eye, or the sensitive eye of the insane, searching for new measure of space and time, for an interior time… she couldn’t live without poetry, so she tried to crack open reality with her mixture of anger and utopia. Her contrary nature, and her desire to break the rules were her gift and her curse, but this was also the part of her awareness of the limit of experience.””
