The Casting photographs with Markéta mark a crucial evolution in Woodman’s practice: from isolated self-examination to intersubjective performance. By including another woman, Woodman displaces the male gaze entirely—there is no photographer-observer hierarchy, only two agents engaged in a shared act of becoming invisible.
of the Woodman casting market addresses low-volume, high-complexity engineered components. This includes heat-resistant steel castings for industrial furnaces, duplex stainless steel pump housings for chemical processing, and custom bronze propellers for marine repair. Unlike Segment A, success in Segment B depends on metallurgical expertise, non-destructive testing (NDT) certification, and rapid prototyping capabilities. Woodman’s geographic proximity to heavy engineering clusters gives Segment B suppliers a competitive advantage in reducing lead times for urgent maintenance castings. woodman casting marketa b
