A work of art does not need an explanation. The work may be subject to many interpretations, but only one was in the mind of the artist. Some artists say to make the work readable for the public is the artist´s responsibility, but I don´t agree with that. The only responsibility is to be absolutely truthful to the self.
My work disturbs people and nobody wants to be disturbed. They are not fully aware of the effect my work has on them, but they know it is disturbing.
Louise Bourgeois, source unknown, 1979
