Moore revealed to Schor that this ghostly effect, which appears elsewhere in her work, was created rather ingeniously: Woodman stood on a ladder, her body out of the frame, and crumpled a piece of paper in front of the camera during a timed exposure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/pettibon-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-127279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/pettibon-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/pettibon-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/pettibon-2-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/art-photography\/6317\/real-dogs-in-space-raymond-pettibon#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real Dogs in Spac<\/a>e\u201d by Raymond Pettibon<br \/>\n<em>Issue no. 209 (Summer 2014)<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Boo is a frequent muse for Pettibon\u2014her portrait graces the cover of this issue, and she appears, in various guises, throughout this selection of drawings\u2014but then dogs are everywhere in his art.
