Louis Bourgeois is my favorite artist right now. Many of her quotes relax my nervousness about creating art.

– “I am not what i am, i am what i do with my hands.”

– “All we have to open the past are the five senses…and memory.”

and my favorite:

– “A work of art doesn’t have to be explained.”

She does so many things with the human hand, and i too have been fascinated with drawing them, but she molds them, which come out amazingly beautiful in my opinion.

– “There is nothing so fraught with significance’s as the human hand.”
