inspiration from louise

Louise Bourgeois is one of my absolute favorite artists. She is one of the places I turn when I feel creatively empty...


"Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor."

“Ms. Bourgeois, 96, has been prolific. For her art is not a job; it is a life. It is what you do when you get up in the morning, and what you continue to do all day, through headaches and phone calls, breakups and breakdowns, silences and celebrations. It is what you keep doing after dark, and when you can’t sleep at night.”
