Zitat des Tages von Louise Bourgeois:
My childhood has never lost its mystery, and it has never lost its drama.
I don't watch TV. I don't use a computer, a fax or a cellphone.
Even though what I do does enter the market, it doesn't interest me. I am exclusively concerned with the formal qualities of my work. It is about the need and the right to self-expression.
To express your emotions, you have to be very loose and receptive. The unconscious will come to you if you have that gift that artists have. I only know if I'm inspired by the results.
Look at it this way - a totem pole is just a decorated tree. My work is a confessional.
I was a 'runaway girl' from France who married an American and moved to New York City. I'm not sure I would have continued as an artist had I remained in Paris because of the family setup.
