Louise Bourgeoise as photographed by Annie Leibowitz. This portrait has followed me from house to house for thirty years and more.

Last night a documentary on Louise Bourgeoise by Tracey Emin.

First three sentences: 'In order to liberate myself from the past I have to reconstruct it, make a statue out of it and get rid of it by making a sculpture. I'm able to forget it afterwards. I have paid my debt to the past and I am liberated.'

Well worth a watch if you have half an hour and iPlayer. If not here's a review of the exhibitions in Edinburgh.
