‘I am
possessed by rage how does it
feel - rage or anger is extensible
it grows or it diminishes
it expands and it retracts, it
advances and it retires like
waves - it is oriented like
a bolting horse but even in its
raging race it can be directed
driven like a car at 110 an
hour it makes the possessed extremely
receptive, I am hungry I am thirsty I consume
I don’t get a cold when I am angry
and I need space I pace up and down the whole
house big distances covered
all the windows are thrown opened
all the lights are turned on - the writing on
the page is large the
drawings (double page of the journal)
no expense is too large, the drawing
starts with a jab and goes
round and round larger and
larger faster and faster
like the children who swirl
faster and faster’
- Louise Bourgeois
