Louise Bourgeois- Inspired Ideas

Over the weekend, I watched a documentary about Louise Bourgeois' life and work. I found the film very interesting and her life, work and mind to be equally as inspiring because of the way she explains her art and experiences and views on life. I feel I can relate to pretty much everything Louise says. 


“It is necessary to recreate the past, in order to get rid of it” -Louise Bourgeois

I do this in my own work; repeat processes in order to forget about the problem or memory. As my sketchbook is where I do most of my work, I am constantly flicking through and looking at the same pages almost everyday, so in a way, the pages are 'worked to death' and the topic on the page becomes boring and something I don't want to remember anymore.

I anticipate my final piece to be an installation. After watching the documentary, it has given me ideas for how I might want my installation to look after seeing the 'Cell' installations Louise Bourgeois made. 
The 'cell'/installation becomes one place I could put each memory into, instead of scattered around in my mind. Below are some examples of Louise's 'Cells'.
