It is as much a reincarnation of her past and her childhood as a confirmation of her relationship with memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer visual approach to fabrics transforms decorative accessories into emotional and personal references which, especially in her Cells and later in her drawings, create representations of a tormented and at the same time powerful womanhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFurther development of the artist's work began in 2002: exploiting the iridescent colours and formal structural properties of pieces of her clothing, she created \"The Fabric Drawings,\" astonishing works alternating between floral figurative pieces and chromatic abstractions. This set of images is collected here in its entirety for the first time, constituting the closest thing yet to a general catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596794937580,"sku":"9788857206547","price":160.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857206547-louise-bourgeois.jpg?v=1777942297","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/louise-bourgeois-by-germano-celant-9788857206547","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
