Contextual work: Louise Bourgeois

The idea of using thin fabric to enclose my confined space box came from Louise Bourgeois' piece, "The Woven Child". After seeing this piece, I forced myself to question why she used thin, see through fabric. The answer was simple - so we could see exactly what was inside without any doubt. While the concepts behind Bourgeois piece, and what I hope to create are very different, she has inspired me to work with a similar fabric for the same reason that she used it - visibility.
