Artist’s Remarks:
"This suggests beauty... the thrill of beauty. I love this... I love the total harmony, the thrill of perfection. But thrill can mean you are out of control... it is the ransom of ecstasy." (Quote cited in Wye, Deborah and Carol Smith. "The Prints of Louise Bourgeois." New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 1994, p. 169)
