Mirror Mirror

Stumbled across the photographic work of Florence Henri ( 1893-1982 ) earlier today.

Though she [ shockingly ] doesnt have an english language wikipedia page i've found several articles about her work, life, influence and legacy.

Take a peek at these selects:

...a snippet from an insightful article, "Androgyny and the Mirror: Photographs of Florence Henri, 1927-1938" by Melody Davis:

Henri used the mirror as a metaphor for her desire and, by extension, for the confusing, ambiguous, fluid modern world. By yoking seemingly oppositional qualities in her atemporal photographic settings, Henri shows an aggressively destabilized anti-space of mirror and glass, of multiple, contradictory signs, composites of impossible structure, the restless play of creator, creation, masculine, feminine, tradition and rupture.

Florence was indeed and interesting woman.

Google her for more everything!
