路易斯·布尔乔亚：蜘蛛、情妇与橘子

These connections that I make in my work are connections that I can not face. They are really unconscious. But this is the privilege of the artist. That’s why the artist should nor be supported by the government. They should be grateful to the artist. Uh, the artist has the privilege of being in touch with his or her unconscious. And this is really a gist. Uh, it is the definition of sanity. It is the definition of self-realization. Right.

“Why does it seem important that it be our hands—yours and Jerry’s?”

Because it means, it shows how much I care about the whole thing. It shows how much the emotion that this experience is true. It’s an emotion that has been lived and that is real. It’s not something made up.

The purpose of the pieces, whatever they are and whatever date they are, is to express emotions. Emotions for me are very bothersome...because they are completely inappropriate. My emotions are inappropriate to my size. My emotions are my demons. It is not the emotions themselves, it is the intensity of the emotions...are much too much for me to handle. And that is why I transfer them, I transfer the energy into sculpture. This applies to everything I do. It has nothing to do with the craft. It has nothing to do with the skills. It has nothing to do with the how-to manage materials. Materials are only materials, nothing more. The materials are not the subject of the artist. The subject of the artist is emotions...and ideas, both.
