Stilte voor Louise Bourgeois.

'When I was growing up, all the women in my house were using needles. I've always had a fascination with the needle, the magic power of the needle. The needle is used tot repair the damage. It's a claim to forgiveness. It is never aggressive, it's not a pin.'

Het citaat noteerde ik drie jaar geleden bij het lezen van 'Louise Bourgeois: destruction of the father, reconstruction of the writings and interviews 1923-1997.' Je vindt het op pagina 222.
