“It is not an image I am seeking. It is not an idea. It is an emotion you want to recreate, an emotion of wanting, of giving, and of destroying.” — Louise Bourgeois Bourgeois’s use of soft materials – including the “second skin” of her own clothes – often imbues her works with a sensuous quality and an almost tactile sense of vulnerability and intimacy. She saw the actions involved in fabricating them in metaphorical terms, relating the cutting, ripping, sewing and joining to notions of reparation and to the bodily expression of psychic tensions.
