Arthur Miller's Tribute

Bourgeois makes exquisite hybrids. I think of her delicate carved marble Femme Coteau, Knife Woman, or of her paintings and drawings of the Femme/Maison, Woman House. In this marble work, a coil entwines a human hand or the twining expression becomes this fingered expressive hybrid. It is monu- mentalized by its placement on a rough-hewn pedestal. Bourgeois's work weds the abstract to the figural to vividly convey a human reality.
