"Insomnia has been a lifelong companion to Louise Bourgeois' night hours. Between November 1994 and June 1995, she committed to paper the thoughts, memories, and images that surfaced during her sleepless nights. The resulting 220 drawings are the quintessence of all the impulses, sources, and motifs inspiring her work. The Insomnia Drawings show the artists' mind at work: drawings and sketches alternate with poems and aphorisms in both French and English, interspersed with notes referring to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The series is a unique mirror of an extraordinary woman's life and work: beautiful, disquieting, passionate, inquiring, and imbued with a quirky sense of humor."--back of slipcase.
