| Swaying 2006 Etching, ink, watercolour and pencil on paper 149.5 x 33.9cm/ 58 7/8 x 13 3/8 in Louise Bourgeois |
Louise Bourgeois' drawings and sculptures occupy her work like inseparable, closely bound siblings. Both derive from the same strong emotional core: angst as the critical torque between past and being. Drawing, as the delicate and sensitive sister to her assertive brother sculpture, is for Bourgeois like a personal letter. The act of drawing is in its form and in the intimacy of its treatment of pencil and paper akin to daily writings to the demons of recollection.
