About The Artwork
A set of four corkboard placemats honouring the important role fabric played in Louise Bourgeois' life, from growing up in her parents' tapestry restoration workshop to using sewing in her artistic practice to represent psychological repair. Each coaster features textile works from the artist's archives. “I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole." - Louise Bourgeois
About Louise Bourgeois
French-born American artist Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911, Paris) is internationally renowned for her psychologically charged sculptures, prints and drawings. Despite living in New York from 1938 until her death in 2010, Bourgeois drew much of her inspiration from her time growing up in France. Bourgeois' work used the body to explore complex themes about the human condition, especially love, memory, sexuality and abandonment.
