Mad Woman

Mad Woman, you cold, intricate, nurturing, fearful figure, you wreck the ships you build and tear down what brings you sanity.

‘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
