Description
"
Whilst
Bourgeois's
sculptures
frequently
connote
male
and
female
body
parts
, this
piece
also has
landscape
associations
.
Mounds
or
mushrooms
are
evoked
, as
is
a
relationship
between
'above'
and
'below'
ground.
"
(Caption

p.151)
; "The
troubled
early
history
that
informed
Bourgeois's
work
involved
the
fact
that her
father
had
installed
his
mistress
in the
family
home
,
systematically
undermining
the
self-esteem
of his
wife
and
daughter
.
[…]
In
smaller
carved
or
modeled
sculptures
she
developed
a
lexicon
of
mutating
'part
objects'
-
split-off
parts
of the
body
,
neither
securely
male
nor
female
,
active
or
passive
, onto
which
feelings
of
seduction
or
repulsion
,
pain
or
pleasure
,
could
be
projected.
