“Restoration”
In Dialogue :
Louise Bourgeoise, “Sainte Sebastienne”
c.1992
“Saint Sebastian was an early Christian martyr and saint, and he is usually depicted with his hands behind his back with arrows.
Louise often depicts certain kinds of classical imagery with a feminine perspective. Louise was interested in the idea of aggression, between passivity and aggression, having enemies, being rejected, having people who want something from you.
And she’s very interested in that state of where things are not going well, where one is under siege both physically and psychologically.”
- Jerry Gorovoy,
Bourgeoise’s assistant of 30 years- provides insight into Bourgeoise’s expression.
