Spiderwoman.

I was struggling for artist research in my sketchbook when some one told me to have a look at Louise Bourjeois as a lot of her work is influenced by her mother, like my project is based around and influenced by my family. A lot of her work is structural and I'm more textile based, however she does have quite a few textile pieces, I can appriciate the skills involved, but it's just not to my taste. However, there is one piece that I have fallen in love with. PEAUX DE LAPINS, CHIFFONS FERRAILLES A VENDRE, 2006, which I think is French for SKINS OF RABBITS, RAGS SCRAP TO SELL.

"I always had the fear of being seperated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole."
