Ears, 2004

Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010)

Walker Art Gallery

2004

The work depicts twelve minutely different images of the artist's own ear printed onto a cloth which was part of Bourgeois's own wedding trousseau. She often explores elements of her own anatomy in her work and uses the ear as a symbol of listening. Each ear has a punched out hole, individually sewn like a buttonhole.
